Hi Botters wanted to say Hi!

Hi guys.  Sorry I haven't been on lately.  Lots of things been going on.  I am recovering well from my surgery but I have been coping with the pain with extra carbs.  I got off the meds but I found out that I am eating the pain away for awhile.  I am still swollen from the surgery and I finally got my last drain tube out yesterday.  I am in my compression garment now and at night it feels like it is crushing my ribs, no extra eating there.  My weight the first week of swelling went up to 165 but now I am back at 162 and going down about a 1/4 pound a day.  Hopefully I will be back in the 150's in the next few weeks.  Angela, thank you so much for posting the cardio and cafe blog and I know you are getting ready for your surgery too.  Good luck to you.  I did deal with some extra depression that kinda threw me a loop, I wasn't expecting it.  I just did not want to converse with anyone for a solid week.  Thanks again for all your prayers.  I do want to say that my plastic surgeon did an excellent job and I am very happy with the way that I look.  All my clothes still fit and some are even loose.  Can't wait until the swelling is gone.  Have a great Friday everybody.

Hope the swelling goes away and takes the pain and the lbs with it. Happy convalescing.

Thank you very much.  Here's hoping!

Thanks for the update, Tess. Sending healing thoughts and hugs your way.

Great hearing from you, Tess.   Happy to see that you are progressing and hoping to see you posting daily again soon.  But take your time, and concentrate on "you".  Feel better :)

Hi Tess,

 

Glad your getting better.  We all have our ups and down.  Have a great mothers day!
