YAY!!! I'M SOO HAPPY

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING TO ALL MY FELLOW BANDSTER BROTHERS AND SISTERS. Well I been up since 3am this morning and couldn't sleep... odd.. Sooo I stayed in bed all nice warm and around 4ish am had to run to the bathroom. I totally forgot I left my scale out last night and tripped over it.... so I ran a storm of my favorite profanity words... hahaha so after 3 minutes of profanity I said oh well I might as well see what it says today so I stepped on it and it said E WTF! I dont weight E hahaha well dum dum wasn't stepping on it right so I reset it and tried again and to my surprise it said 333lbs WOW!!!!! When I started going to my Dr I started at 368 after 2 week pre-op diet and a few hours after my surgery they weight me in at the hospital at 341 that was Dec 18 at 4am or so. and today Dec 23 also around 4ish am I am at 333lbs WOOOOHOOOOOO all in all thats ummm **doing math** 37lbs since I started my pre-op diet on Dec 2nd

Tuesday Morning....

Good morning fellow bandsters... How is everyone doing??   Well its tuesday and it's been what 4 days since my surgery.... and I can honestly say that this is the first time that i'm saying.. i'm getting a little hungry now... hahahaha and liquids are not filling hahahaha Hmmmmm how fun. Well yesterday was the first night that I slept in my bed.... hahaha it was a little uncomfortable but it sure as hell beats sleeping on the recliner hahaha.. I wish I could go out and walk but it hasnt stopped raining since friday... and for anyone of you guys that live in SoCal.. you know this isnt SoCal at all.. but it sure as hell beats our normal California Christmas. 75-85degree christmas wearing shorts and tank tops   I think this year we are gonna be wearing pants and a light sweatshirt hahaha   But yeah I wish I could go out and walk but the rain needs to stop and its supposed to get worst later on today.   Oh well I guess I have to keep walking in the house.   Hope everyone is doing good.

Home sweet home

Home sweet home after 24hrs of my surgery. It took us almost 4 hrs to get home cause of the damn traffic (GOTTA LOVE LOS ANGELES WET TRAFFIC). But man it feels good to get home. Honestly right now I'm in a little pain but it's like a 3 out of 10 so that's good I guess. Getting hiccups isn't fun though. Did anyone get a binder to wrap their stomach? I have one and it's a little tight bit it feels good to have on. If u had did how often did you wear it? Till when?

I just got back from my walk it was a few minutes but it felt good it is the second time today I go fir a walk first time it was at midnight and I walked a little but very slow but now I was able to have a normal pace "that's great" my nurse says. Oh and by the way I haven't gotten sick like other patients do. That's awesome!!! I been sleeping in little portions lol weird

The day of At hospital before my procedure

Well here I am at Marina Del Rey Hospital waiting to get admitted in to the hospital it took us nearly 2 hrs to get here cause of traffic (Gotta love Los Angeles traffic). Well I can say I'm still not scared hahaha crazy huh.... But I do feel a little down... I have no idea why. I know it's for the best doing this. I am a little hungry though but not starving. I been up since 8am today I kind of cleaned up my room so when I get back it won't be a mess like it usually is... Hahaha yes I'll admit that I don't keep my room organized. **sighs** well it's now a waiting game

The night before my procedure

Sooo here I sit resting the night before my procedure..... thinking... damn this is really happening... honestly i'm not afraid... i'm just going with the flow... But honestly I dont know how im gonna do it tomorrow I know I get up early no matter what.. and I need to be at the hospital at 12pm and my procedure is at 2pm.... man oh man its gonna be tough.   Well here is a lil something of what i wrote to a few friends earlier tonight   "Tomorrow I start my new journey in life, you can even say I will be born again. I will be celebrating my new birthday on Dec 17th, tomorrow after 3pm-ish I will start my new book in life"   Well thats all I got for now.... and I got a few things to do like clean up my room so it can be neat when I come back... god how I have no idea how to do that hahahaha   Wish me luck gang!
