Got home at about 9pm last night.  I feel great.  Most pain is from a deep incision with multiple layers of stitches.  I have fibroids in my uterus, surgeon knew about them but when my surgery started, they were so big he scrubbed out and called a GYN

32 hours until my surgery...a little anxious but after 2 weeks of liquid diet I just want to get it over with lol!!  Looking forward to a new future and a new me!  Wish me luck!!!

Well, so far so good!!  Day 7, and haven't cheated once!!  I have to admit, Friday was the hardest day, when my roommate cooked bacon!  The smell drove me crazy lol   Luckily there is no more bacon in the house.  I told her if she had been cooking baco
