I had my surgery

hello SC ladies. Well, i wanted to give you the update that i did have my srugery on monday at 11am and i was home around 4pm Wed. mY surgery went with no complications, and all went well. I am home and slowly sipping like I am suppose to. Small bits of fear that I will eat too fast/too much/get sick, but i am slowly perservering. I actually came home from the hopspital weighing 4 lbs more than I did going in, but i'm gonna hope that is water retention from all the IV fluids I was getting, and hope that when i weigh again next monday, i will see good results. I am gonna try and weigh only one time a week for the record.

I am so glad to hear your surgery went well!!! AWESOME!! Prays and huggsss sent your way!! butter

I am so glad to hear that your surgery went well....Do any of you ever go into the chatroom???I would love to chat with some South Carolinians..lol......God Bless You Always.........

THAT IS THE BEST NEWS WE COULD HEAR, MS HEATHER! YUP, DEBORAH WAS TELLING US ABOUT THAT THIS EVENING ... THAT YOUR BODY HOLD FLUIDS TO PROTECT YOUR ORGANS AFTER SOMETHING TRAUMATIC LIKE SURGERY. HOW IS YOUR ENERGY? GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

well overall my energy is pretty weak. I have an a 9 mo daughter and of course i can't hold her, but oh, how i want to... it is hard seeing her and wanting to hold her but i can't. Even having her on my knee for about 3 minutes is all i can handle. Yesterday though i did ride with my mom, daughter and grandmother to BEST BUY for about 45 min. So, that was my outing yesterday. I am trying to do at least 15 minutes of walking everday. Although i know it isn't power walking by any means, it still is getting me out and my blood flowing. 1 to 10 with energy, i'd say mine is a 3.5

AWHHHHHHHH, YOUR LITTLE ONE MUST WONDER WHY MOMMA ISN'T CUDDLING ANY MORE! BUT, YOU'LL BE ABLE IN NO TIME, MS HEATHER! 15 MINUTE WALKS ARE GREAT & I'D SAY FOR 4 DAYS OUT, A 3.5 ISN'T TOO BAD, GIRL! IS THE SWELLING GOING DOWN? IT'S A JOKE ON THE WORLD WHEN WE ARE CALLED "LOSERS"!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TILL I'M IN THE CLUB! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

when you weigh 264 and you feel fat..lol asking me if i see swelling in my stomach kind of makes me laugh ( now stop that..laughter makes me hurt...lol) but i can't say i notice too much swelling really. I got my mom to take pics of my incisions tonight after my shower and she changed by bandages..lol the things we can ask loved ones to do.

HMMMMMMMMMMM, I SEE YOUR POINT, MS HEATHER TOWANA SAID THE SAME THING TO ME ... "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH DDDDDAAAAAWWWWWNNNNN, DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!" MAN, I MUST HAVE A STRANGE AFFECT ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!! NOW STOP THAT, MS HEATHER .. I DIDN'T SAY, "I WAS STRANGE", I SAID, "I MUST HAVE A STRANGE AFFECT ON PEOPLE." OH MY GOSHHHHHHHH, ARE YOU GONNA "OWE" YOUR MOMMA BIG TIME!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU GONNA HONOR US WITH PICS OF YOUR BOO-BOOs ON YOUR PROFILE? ACTUALLY, I SAW SOME PICS ON ANOTHER PROFILE ... WAS IT WENDY'S? (HAVING A SENIOR MOMENT HERE). WELL, KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT & LOSE, LOSE, LOSE!!!!!!! RAH! RAH!! RAH!!! GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Congratulations!! It is a little scary, because you don't know what to expect, but follow your doctor's orders and be gentle with yourself. You'll be just fine and back on your feet before you know it. Love & hugs, B

Heather, I am so glad that you are home safe & sound. Please keep us up-to-date on your progress. Congrat, Britt
