I did it!!!

So, yesterday I reported to Evergreen Hospital at 10:45 and my surgery was at 12:15. The doctor was in and out in 1 hour and 10 minutes. So, it went very smoothly. I have a huge bruise on my thigh from a shot that they gave me and I have 5 incisions in my tummy. As always, the day after surgery, is worse than the day of surgery. All those wonderful drugs hat they give you have worn off and you are stuck with prescription pain killers. I woke up last night after 4 hours of pain killers for more, so they must be doing their job.

I am on clear liquids for now and on Sunday I can move to protein drinks. I'm getting a little tired of juice and sugar-free Jello, so I am actually looking forward to the next step.

Today, my oldest son called to talk to me, and he said that all of a sudden it dawned on him that he was going to have a skinny mom, for the first time in his life. I am excited about this change in my life and the life's of my family.
