Officially on the losers bench!
I wanted to thank all of you who answered my many questions. Had surgery midday yesterday. Up sopping and walking today. Hurts but is manageable. Thanks to you guys I have a blanket from home, earplugs and a big tub of lip balm. They are very useful.

I am so happy for you. It seemed like such a long wait. Take it slowly now. Focus on water, protein and walking. Follow all the rules. They are very important especially in the early stages.
Every day will be better than the day before. It is a journey. I hope we can be there to help you along the way.
take care, BIG HUG!
