  1. 10 Months post-op

    I know its been a while since I posted anything, been busy with kids, work, KIDS, and life in general.
    I am down to 172lbs, size 10/12. My lab work from my last doctor's visit turned out to be wonderful! My cholesterol and A1C are perfect, along with everything else.

  5. Day 2 Post Op...

    Besides feeling groggy and sore, all is good.
    I have a lot of pain in my shoulders and under my diaphragm from having the gas put in during the procedure (you know, they blow you up like a balloon so they can see everything during a laproscopic procedure). Hurts to get up from laying down. Overall not so bad. If I compare it to my previous surgical experience, c-sections, its about the same amount of pain.
    Do I have nausea? I didn't have any after surgery. I did, however, hurt from
