Beth, I'm so sorry that I got on here too late to wish you luck before you headed off to surgery. Well, you might be in there right now, so I'm wishing hard in your direction for peace, health and well-being. (((((BETH)))))

So, Nyn I know how you feel and NOPE the camera doesn't weigh 2.5 pounds. I checked. *L*
Awwww, LOL. Yeah, sucks doesn't it? I tried to weigh my camera by itself to figure out how much it added, but it was too light to register on the bathroom scale and I don't have a kitchen food scale. I'm tempted to take it to a grocery store and weigh it on a produce scale! With all the vicodin you're taking, I doubt any of your weighing for the last several days really counts. I would give it a week after the surgery, at least, and then try it again. I bet you'll see 149 then!!! I know the last thing you needed right now was yet more stress, but I know you're gonna kick your goal weight's butt really, really soon! ::waves pom-poms::

I haven't been able to get a lot of time on TT this weekend and I totally missed your post.

Beth, by now you are out of surgery. My prayers for a speedy and painless recovery!

Thank you all for the prayers. It turned into an Outpatient surgery so I was home about 9:00pm EST time tonight. The drugs are working well and have slept relatively good. It' 4:30 am right now too but finally could get some vicodan in me.

I've had a little bleeding from the incision right above my belly button but I'm actuall gradually feeling better.

Welll thank you all again. I'm SO glad this is behind me...now to get to goal. The IV water weight added a couple pounds in there to 154 but I'm not worried about that....it honestly was expected.
