I'm home

I'm home from surgery.   A couple of rough days, but over all everything went well.  Dr. Fitzer and the staff at  Faxton-St. Lukes Hospital were wonderful!  The nurses are amazing ! Thank you all so much.  I'm having a tough time drinking or even thinking about wanting to drink, my wonderful husband acts like a drill sergeant nurse.... he keeps reminding me sip, sip,sip,,,,, walk, walk walk.  God I love him .   thanks for all your support.

Glad to here all went well and yes your husband is correct, sip, sip, sip, and walk.  That's what I am hearing from everyone who has already had this surgery and their drs. Congrats and your now officially a loser!!!!

Congrats and welcome home Carol, Good Luck to you on your wls journey. Paulette

Welcome to the losing side.  I can't wait to hear your successes and WOW moments.  Get tha****er in and walk, walk, walk. Bev

Congrats on your successful surgery!!! Drinking will get easier everyday. Your hubby/nurse is correct...keep at it!! Hang on tight for the most wonderful and crazy ride of your life........ Hugs, connie d

Carol, I am so glad that things went well for you during you stay with the beginning of your new life. It is going to be well worth all the hassles you have had to go through. Trust me on that one. Life after wls is nothing short of heaven on earth.  I am so glad that hubby is being so supportive. I know that Bill was for me and still is. He is the one that reminds me of so much. The new life is a learning experience and he is there to remind me gently of things that I sometimes forget. I have been blessed with him in my life. That I know for sure. It sounds like your hubby is the same. We are both blessed. Keep up the great work and you will reap many great rewards.

*~~*~~*~~*~~* C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S *~~*~~*~~*~~* How nice you have someone to help you with the little reminders... instead of eat, drink and be merry you now have sip, walk and be skinny.... Best Wishes Millie
