Well as of my one month mark I have lost over 30 pounds and I'm finally eating real food.  Of course that has only been for a few days so I can see it is a real learning experience.  My biggest problem started on Monday and that is nausea from smells.  If I can catch myself in time Vicks helps if not welllllllll.  The sad thing is weird things can trigger it like body odors etc.... Sat down next to man in my church choir and almost puked on him, felt really bad especially after I lied as to why I retched.  On the plus side I do have alot more energy but am still learning to try and get all my pills and such in throughout day.   

I got home on Thursday but had a problem with one of my incisions leaking so had to take it easy for a few days, it finally stopped last night.  The surgery went well there was not much pain.  I have lost 10 pounds since Tuesday which kind of surprised me.  I have a follow up appointment next week and can start eating then and have endocrinology appointment too they say that I may have to take lots of supplements but we will see I was just thrilled to see two digit numbers on my diabetes monitor.  well I think one of the hardest things to remember is to keep drinking and not to gulp it down.  Well thanks for listening

Blessings to all 

Well I am to be at hospital at 8:30 so have just been passing the time cleaning and packing.  My hubby had to go out of town but I decided to go ahead with surgery, my Dad and his girlfriend have come from VA to be with me.  I think the worst part of the whole thing is the waiting.  My hubby was in Navy most of our married life so I have gone through hospitalizations and such without him.  I know that he is with me in spirit and praying for me.  Had to board my dogs though and that was hard to do I always feel so bad for them and to spend the hours without them for company is not much fun.  Well back to work I guess need to finish this up but not rushing too much. 

my doctor called yesterday and has put me on the schedule for Tues Mar 6th I am so excited.  My hubby will be out of town all week but my 
Dad is coming to stay with me.  So please keep me in your prayers.

Well because we are military and the base is closed my surgery has been rescheduled.  The sad thing is that they only do 2 a week and so now my date is April 10th unless something comes up beforehand and I will get put in that time slot.  I will have to say today I'm busy feeling sorry for myself but I know I will get over it and April will come.  Would love to hear from anyone who may have been through something similar.

sad to say but I'm running around the house and town trying to get things done before tomorrow morning.  I'm more scared of the snow that is to come then the surgery.  I just have to tell myself nothing will stop it tomorrow and keep the faith.  I truly cannot wait to start this journey and this is from a woman who said she would never have this surgery.  I still need to call around 4 this afternoon to get surgery time and finish packing a few things.  Of course I still have a 2 tests to take online before tomorrow for my college course but there's lots of time for that as I have a tendency not to sleep much before my surgery.  This is number 24.  Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers
