I must say i feel great, I've been walking lite pain, no nausea. The Doctors n Nurses are wonderful st Overlook Hospital in Summit, N J. Terrific staff very attentive. As of now I haven't drank anything. My nurse will bring me broth and jello a little later its about 8:11am. My family has been very supportive, which makes healing much smoother. Hopefully i'll get discharged today

So it's been 10 days, I'm down 11 pounds!! I can start eating cream of wheat, oatmeal and yogurts.. So I made myself some cream of wheat to test the waters, I ate two spoon full maybe and I was full.. I was shocked! I could never image myself eating a spoon full of anything and getting full.. So my highest weight ever: 215, pre surgery: 201 and first post op appointment 192!!

Well, I will return to work tomorrow, last time I checked I was down 11 pounds. I haven't gotten on a scale since my first pre op appointment, last week. My daughter passed by yesterday and said, "mom let me take a look at you" so I stood up. She was like oh, no.. You're not getting skinner then me "lol" then she stared jogging in place lol we were both laughing so hard. I teased her and said. I will pass by your place next week to raid your closets. It felt good hearing that from my babycakes!! While I was sitting on the couch watching TV, My 18 years gave me his 5 pound weights and told me to start working on my arms while i'm sitting there. I looked at him and said ok. He said once i'm able to do sit ups he's going to help me get a four pack.. lol he has a six, I said bet let's do this. I will post pictures soon!

My daughter Birthday was 3/13. We went shopping for a dress for her, While looking around, I forever 21, walked over to the plus size section, she said "Mom why are you going over there" I said, I'd like to find a blouse. She said you don't wear that size anymore!!! I just looked at her... I was able to purchase a little sexy blouse...I tried it on I was shocked! I look different in the mirror full body. I had to regroup.
