 Hello all!

I am proud to say I made it through surgery just fine!! Turns out they had to do four procedures. Band removal, sleeve, remove gallbladder and I did have a hiatel hernia too. So, the first six hours out of surgery were kinda rough, I just slept a lot though. Ever since I've been feeling pretty good, just taking it very slow and staying on top of pain meds. I've been having some things to drink too. Water, crystal light, protein shake, Popsicles. 

Anyways. I just thought I'd send an update.

Amy,
So glad to hear you are doing well. That's a lot of surgery! Wow! You sound like it hasn't slowed you down too much. Keep sipping and walking. You are doing great.

CONGRATS!

So glad to hear that after 4 procedures you are doing so well! One thing I found is if you don't take things slow (whether you feel good or not) you will pay for it later!

Sip, Sip, Sip! And REST!!!!
