Finally...It's My Time - Santa Clara, CA

Surgery appeared to be pretty smooth. Can tell my stomach is flatter already. I'm in no pain at all, but extremely sore and TIGHT. It's tough getting up and down to use the restroom, but I have awesome help. Other than my legs being a little itchy the CG doesn't bother me at all. Oh and it takes getting used to peeing with it on...feels very unnatural.
I am not used to being so immobile and having someone do everything for me. I am also grateful for the support of my family and friends. They even wanted to come sit at the facility while I was in surgery. How sweet was that???
Taking meds every 4 hours like clock work. Was able to eat a yogurt, some cashews and cherries yesterday. Didn't have much of an appetite. I am also up and down frequently...1 minute up and laughing, the next out like a light.
All and all, it has not been unbearable. I can hardly wait to really see what I'm working with under the CG. :-)

No turning back now! I'm up and making sure I haven't overlooked anything. I can't help but feel like I'm missing something...but WHAT??? :-)

My final step of preparation is making pre-measured bags of frozen fruit for my smoothies. My family and friends have been great and very supportive. Many of them want to come to the hospital for extra support. No thank you!! lol

Well, the next post from me will be with perky boobs and a flat stomach...being over shadowed by Vicodin and Valium!!

I pray blessings on those going in today and tomorrow (just in case I'm too high to remember to pray tomorrow) and a speedy recovery for us all.

WHOOHOO!! I'm really doing it y'all!!!!! :-)

I cannot explain the mixed emotions I currently have. Like a kid the day before Christmas, I want to go to sleep super early so tomorrow comes fast! Yet, like most I am a bit apprehensive of the recovery aspect.

Tomorrow is my day. I am looking forward to it.
