I'm back dudes and I am so...sore. Ah well. I was expecting this but it's something I'm not used to. I'm a hypocondriac, so I guess the pain isn't that bad.

I am so happy though! I'm just wondering if they actually did anything or they just cut me open and sewed me back up.

I am so tired that I could fall asleep on the floor...well not really. I don't know what been on that floor, so I guess I'll skip that. I'll go into more detail soon, but I'm just trying to take it slow right now.

Thank you guys for all the support; I love it!

*hugs 4ever*
Axel

Great to hear from you. Just take it easy and let us know how you're doing when you can. I fell asleep on the toilet once just after surgery and nearly broke my head open falling forwards into the wall - not a good idea. Boy those drugs.....they sure make you want to nap no matter where you are!

YAY! Thanks for supporting me guys!

OhMiGod, guess how much I weigh today? Okay I'll tell you: 244 lbs!

AHHH! So I lost twenty pounds from my highest weight, but lost almost ten pounds at my surgery weight...shocking!

*happy dance*

It's amazing too because I have a hard time getting my liquid intake in and my protein in, but I squeak by. It's weird because after a few sips, I feel full.

Can we all join you in the "happy dance"!!!??!!! Doesn't it feel great to weigh in and have that kind of surprise staring back at you? I know the feeling. You're on the road now to feeling so much healthier. Wait till you see how much easier it is to walk - uphill, upstairs, carrying loads, etc. Way to go kid!
