Had first post-op surgeon visit yesterday

He took out the drain (thank God--I can get a decent night's sleep now ). I also got permission to try a little bit of mashed potatoes...and baby food (my three little nieces thought that one was realllly funny). But the real good news was when they put me on the scale...and I found out I'd lost 35 pounds since my last pre-op office visit . I know that this was the best thing for me, and I know it will work in the end...but it was oh so nice to see some payoff right there in front of my eyes .

Barry, Wow that is awesome hun....congrats..... You will do wonderful I am sure.... Best of luck and keep up the great work.......~hug~ Debra P
