277.5

That was my weight tonight before shower.  Let's see 316 day of surgery, 300 2 week followup and tomorrow is my 6 week follow up.  I am crossing my fingers that 23.5 lbs is a good weight loss in a month.  I personally think it is.  Since starting the program in Jan I am down 61.5 lbs!!!!!!

Even though I have lost some weight, my fibromyalgia issues have not disappeared.  I know I shouldn't have expected them to.  I am doing more since my operation, but definitely not where I want to be yet.

Forgot to eat

Around 4:30 pm, I am bringing Andrew home and I realized I haven't eaten a dang thing today.  I rushed through the store got some roast beef and cheese.  Get home and was able to eat 1 roll.  I was feeling better not as bitchy.  But still feel like the post nasal drip is causing me some really ucky feelings.  Dinner I had a few piece of chicken papa made and a couple of pieces of potato salad.  Midnight meal I just fried a piece of bologna with a 1/4 of a piece of white american cheese.  This was SUPER yummy.  Today was a bad not eating day.  I need to get better.

Day #6 Post Surgery

I have not updated my blog since surgery.  I am awful at updating this thing I swear.  I need to go through facebook and post a bunch of my statuses since then.  I have been pretty much out of it since surgery.

Surgery went well.  I went in about 9:30 and woke up probably about 3 or 3:30.  Yet again I had a rough time getting incubated, gotta love my small mouth and throat sigh.  I also had rough time waking up, I am such a bitch waking up from anathesia!  Pain wise I was pretty high, maintained about a 7 on a pain scale.  I was up and walking, I did it most of the night so I wouldn't have the gas pains.  Thank goodness the gas pains never were an issue.

My hospital stay wasn't the most pleasant.  I had a roommate that had dimentia and wow she had a rough time being there too.


I came home my 2nd day from surgery, March 21.  I was so happy!  Hydrocodone has been keeping my pain levels pretty good.  I am keeping up with getting up and moving.  I have done a few trips to Hannaford to get my walking in.  Today though I think I did too much and my body hurts.  Also one of my incisions look pretty angry.  I am going to keep an eye on it.

Food wise, I have been eating a bunch of yogurt, popsicles and a few shakes.  I am not getting all of my liquid in that I should, but I keep trying to sip sip sip.

Today was super busy, I had a policy council meeting and parent teacher conference.  I honestly haven't had much to "eat" today and I am not hungry at all.  I made concoction of a soup, french onion and cheddar cheese soup.  It wasn't good.
