Home from surgery as of yesterday. I'm feeling pretty good. I am doing all I can to aid in my recovery. It took me eight hours to consume 4 oz of protein shake, but more importantly I am getting in all of my water.

Today I am going to try getting in a shower and doing my hair and make-up. Maybe going to Walmart for a short shopping trip. Other than that I can't believe I did it. :) But I am so glad I did.

Thanks! I am feeling more and more like myself with every passing hour. I am going to do myself a big favor and stay away from the scales for a while. It's not about the number on the scale anyway. It's about living a happy, healthy life.

I agree that the more you move around the better you will feel. I walked like crazy from about an hour after I got to my room and had a quick and relativly easy recovery. In fact I wondered if I had had surgery. But I lost 145 pounds so I'm pretty sure I did!

I did the same Karen. The nurses said that to look at me they would never guess I just had surgery at all. I knew I was on a mission so I got my but up and did my thing. Today I feel pretty great and am planning on doing some mall walking and Christmas shopping. I can only say that life is good right now. :)

Congrats and I'm glad you are doing so well . . . I'm schedule for Tuesday and seeing this positive post makes me a little less worried. When I had my hysterectomy I think I healed so quickly because I got myself up that first day and made myself walk. It hurt - there was no doubt - but each day it hurt a little less. Your post made me remember that. Thank you!
