Alrighty Then.....

Ooops, forgot to mention they will send you home in a binder and that thing will be your best friend for a few weeks~ I can't remember how long you have to wear it but keep that in mind when your out shopping. I picked up a few pair of jogging pants because buttoning and zipping will not be fun:( The binder looks awful and makes you feel straight as a board but it is so comforting to your incision. I also slept downstairs on our loveseat for awhile, it was close to the bathroom. I didn't want to walk anymore than necessary for the first 3 or 4 days.

My name is Jamie btw...lol. Sorry bout that...man it's great to talk to someone who totally gets it!!

Nice to meet you Jamie!  I'm April.  I am more prepared mentally because of your advice.  Thank you so much!

I owe you a HUGE thank you for helping me realize that it's not a mountain I have to climb, but a tiny little hill to get back on track. You know how you can talk to a thousand people but just one person says something that really hits home?? I haven't felt this positive in a while:)

Okay so this morning I ordered a few workout dvd's, Bento type boxes, and some Chike protein. I feel like I'm getting my determination back Need to figure out a plan for cooking small protein meals and filling my boxes a day ahead. I am totally grab n go:)

Great news!  I'm so glad to hear you are making plans on how you can fight the portion control!  Planning ahead makes all the difference for me and I know it will do the same for you.  Girl, thanks.  I really feel good knowing that I did something good for someone else.  It also makes me wanna keep going too!  Those small hills are big mountains, you know...
