so the journey has begun!

Well, it has been 5 days since my surgery.  I am feeling great and has lost 12 pounds.  I got right up after the surgery and got to walking..of course my IV squeeked so everyone knew when I was coming.  I was very nervous, but everyone there was so sweet, and I even came to from anestesia with out saying something to embarrass myself hahaha.  Had to stay a few extra days but that was ok, got some needed rest.!!  Every nurse there was so sweet, and I even ran into an old school best buddy I had.  That was an added suprise. 
I am doing this right.  I am taking my pills, getting the liquids I am supposed to, and trying to move around as much as i can.  I was blessed with the chnace to have this surgery (thank you mom and dad) and was blessed to come through it safely, you can believe I will not take it for granted.  I am ready and set to do everything I need to do to make this work.  For it is not the easy way like everyone says, there are so many things I have to do now..on top of diet and excersise..and I will do it!!
I will be posting my weight and progress, but I am still a bit self conscience about it..but I will eventually put it!! 

this is me right before leaving the hospital, was actually up 3 pounds because of swelling....
