  1. Hi Elinor:
    Sorry that it has taken me so long to answer.
    I ended up staying an extra day in the hospital due to a minor problem that came up.
    I have good days and a few blue days - did I do the right thing, will this really work this time, etc.
    But, today is a good day. I am still sore - but most days can handle the pain well.
    Went to the Dr. for my first post-op appt. yesterday. I lost 14# since my surgery and that makes 45# total. Yes!!
    Best thing - Dr. put me on soft foods - SOOOOOOO good! My first real meal was a stop at Taco Bell for a Pinto beans and cheese dish. It tasted so good - but I could literally only eat about half of it - 6-7 spoonfuls - hubby had to finish it. It is nice to know that my body is already telling me stop - and I am listening.
    How is everything with You?
    Hugs,
    Kathy
  2. Hi...I -read your post about your meds. I'm on lots of meds and am concerned about them after the sleeve. I am halfway through my pre-op diet and have had to get off my insulin...I'm having hot flashes galore....I know it will be ok....You seemed to have done really well after surgery. I too am a
    Grandma and love sewing, painting and gardening. I'm hoping I'll get to put out a garden this year...I'm 3 months out from hip replacement and knee surgery, so don't know when I'll get to put it out. Gardening in South Texas should be starting pretty soon. Hope your stall will let up soon...
