Update on our Sarah!

Well today our Sarah had her lap RNY. I picked up Kat and Pat and we all drove over to see how she was. We got there and met her mom, who is the nicest lady, and we see Sarah. She is, of course, still a bit out of it, and in & out but she is looking and doing awesome.

We wanted to get her up and moving but had to wait for her Bariatric Coordinator, Ronnie, to come get her up. He finally got that and up she went. She did AWESOME! Five laps around the entire unit, with all of us, Kat, Pat, myself & her mom, following in her footsteps. After those laps, she went back to resting and was able to have her first bit of post op flavor, a sugar free grape popsicle!!

We had a super visit. We laughed, shared stories and encouraged our newest LOSER!!! We also gave her a gift bag, that I have named "Beginners Diet for WlS". It was 2 cans of chicken broth, 2 cans of beef broth, a box of NSA Carnation Instant Breakfast, 7 boxes of different flavor water packets, 10 boxes sugar free jello, new water bottle and 2 crossword puzzle books. I think she is set for the first few days home!

Her mom went home to get her lap top so she will be online later I am sure. I am pretty positive that she will log onto here and read everything so if you haven't done so yet, leave her a message. I am probably going back up to visit tomorrow. Just rest assured that our Sarah is doing great. Already sip, sip, sipping and walk, walk, walking.

Congratulations again, Sarah! I am super proud of you and am excited that you have started this new journey. Much love & many hugs!

Sigh... I am so frustrated that I can not see what everyone else says is so obvious. And funny you mention a new avatar. If I could zoom in a bit and make the pic fit, I would so use the "striking a pose" pic that you took.

I am trying to work things out for tomorrow night. Maybe I can at least meet ya'll for dinner. And I am going to go see Sarah again tomorrow. Maybe while Cam is at camp.

Right now though, I am having one of my moods. Sigh! lol

We'd LOVE to have you for dinner & seeing/hearing live music. We ALL deserve a night out. Honestly, its doing me good to get out more and more. PLEASE see if someone can look after Cam. Hugs....

Sure, of course you can do anything to the pic and send em to me. I am trying my best to work out things for tomorrow. Oh how I would LOVE an adult evening. Haven't had one in a while. I just always end up feeling guilty but that is, of course, a different story. However, maybe a good post for my blog. Can't wait to see what you come up with with that pic. Hugs
