    Default Ahh home now

    Discharged today and I have to say it’s true, there’s no place like home! Now time to recover and do what I have to do. I’m getting married in September so I need to make it happen. Just wanted to thank everyone again who’s been so amazingly supportive since I started coming around.

    Here's to the start of your new life! How wonderful that you have a wedding to look forward to in September. You will look sooooo different by then.
    While you are recovering...and afterwards....be kind to yourself, follow your surgeons instructions and sip, walk, sip, walk, as much as you feel that you can. It will only get easier from here on.

    Congrats! Welcome home! Take a few days (a week or so) to rest and get into the swing of things, and then get after it! First week was tough, then it got easier. Can't stress enough how important it was to walk everyday.

    Congrats and good luck! Hope your feeling fine!
    LOVING MY NEW LIFE!!!!

    You will lose an amazing amount of weight by September. Don't order your tux until a week before the wedding!

    I actually can’t wait to get back in the gym. I’ve been going to the YMCA using the pool prior to surgery, but my first love is the iron. Can’t wait for the doctor to give me clearance for that. That’s when the weight will start to melt off.
