Bye Bye Drain

Went to the surgeon's office today and the nurse removed my drain.
I am so happy to have it gone.  I only have one incision that hurts
me.  All my incisions look good, and most of the bruising is already
gone. Seems rather good to me being only 9 days post op.  I did a
lot of walking today, and that wore me out.  I had to take a nap when 
I got home.  Everyone on this website had it right when they told me
each day gets better.  Thank you all! 

Yes gurl, everyday will just keep getting better & better. Glad to hear you are doing well.

Yay! Thats great! Glad to hear your doing much better. Wow, is all that weightloss from post op? Your doing an awesome job

When I started my pre-op diet I weighed 236.
When I weighed in for my surgeon appointment I weighed 216.
When I weighed in day of surgery I weighed 211.
Today I weighed in at 204.(lost 7 pounds since surgery)
Lost a total of 32 pounds.
I really don't notice any difference. I still wear the same size.
But, I realize a reduction in clothes size will come.
On the way home from the surgeons office today my husband
stopped at our local J C Penney Outlet store and bought
me 4 swim suits in different sizes.  I got 4 suits for the price
of 1.  He said that way throughout the summer I will have
something to wear.  He also got me a suit coverup and two
tops.  I was spoiled today.  He has been very attentive since
the surgery and does anything he can to make things easy
for me. I feel like a very lucky lady.

Wow, You having been doing so great! Yes, You are a very lucky lady with a wonderful supportive hubby, Disney anual passes, new swim suits and all the support you need You are blessed. What are you eating these days?

You're doing great! It really does keep getting better and better from here!

You are going to laugh.  When they removed the drain I started releasing
air from the hole the drain was in.  I sounded like a balloon that was deflating.
It was rather hysterical since it also made a high pitched sound for a few
seconds.  The hole is already sealing up nicely, and doesn't hurt.

Yay, I bet you feel so much better now that your "sidekick" is gone. I love Penney's outlet, of course sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. Sounds like today, you scored.

Great news and I am so happy that hubby is being there for you. congrats on both scores!
