Well its been over a week from surgery. I can't believe how much i have improved in just a week. I am feeling good today. I slept very well last night.

I weighed myself today. I was blown away. I had gained some weight in the hospital. I weighed 375 when i left the hospital. I weighed myself this morning and it was 350. That is 25 pounds. I couldn't believe it.

The liquid diet is still going ok. Its tough to be on an all liquid diet. I will be the first to contest to that. I have been eating sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles. Chicken broth (DON'T put extra salt in it). I have been drinking LOTS of water too. So much so that water and i have formed a bond....HA!

My spirometer level is at 3000 mL. This is better than pre-op.

The lovenox shots are doing ok. I will be honest. I can't wait to get those done with. Its not the needle, its just tough to keep a portion of the skin pinched and then stick the needle in.

All my other medications are doing well.

I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and i can't wait to reach it!!!
