Well another day of a full liquid diet.  Since my surgery things has not been to bad at all.  I was having some bad stomach pains, but seems to be just the gas pains you get after surgery.  The liquid and full liquid diet does get boring at times but we are on these diets for such a short time that it is definitly manageable.  I did gain some weight after surgery and it totally shocked me, but the nurses say that this is normal from the fluids, swelling, etc. of having surgery.  After I finally got that weight back off it looks like I have been losing about a pound a day.

Honestly, I feel that the recovery so far has been soooo much better than I thought it would be.  So I am very pleased.  After a week and 2 days I definitly got more energy and I think that was a turning point for me.

I will try and be better at keeping the blogs going.

Well the day is finally here, the day that I have waited for along time and I'm a little nervous.  I have thought about this surgery and weighed it through and I'm all ready to get it over with and be on the recovering side.  I'm excited but still just a bit nervous even though I know everything is going to be ok and that I have a very skilled professional doctor. 

I have been doing some housework trying to pass the time.  The pre-opt diet hasn't really been to bad.  Yesterday was the first time that I totally got tired of the same food, but only have one more day. 

My daughter just called and I got to talk to my 2 year old grandson through the phone.  I have 3 grandchildren, the twins (Savannah and Nathaniel) which are 1 and then Kaden which is 2.  Man even though I am losing weight for me!!!  My daughters and those beautiful grandbabies are at the top of the list.  I want to live, walk, run and play with them and watch them grow up.  I have always been a very dedicated mother and grandmother.

Well, I guess I will go and the next post I make will be after my surgery.  Wish me good luck.
