One week post-surgery

Apr 20, 2009

Hello All,

Well, it's been seven days since my 'big day'.  I feel fine.  My surgeon said that the procedure went "perfectly" and that my pouch is the perfect size.  I guess you got to be glad about that, eh?  Some other good things...I didn't have any allergies to the meds used, I didn't have any problems with leakage, I left the hospital on day 2 rather than day 3, I'm not struggling through the liquids, I haven't been nauseated once, I've been able to get my liquids and proteins in.  These are all answers to many prayers sent up on my behalf by my friends and family in the Lord Jesus Christ.  God has been very good to me throughout this whole process and I am thankful to Him.

Today, my scale said 293.5.  From the beginning, I'm down 17 pounds already.  That's really quite spectacular.

I guess that's it for now.  I'll sign off, but will be back in a week or so for another update. 

Take care!
