It is 542a and I've been awake for about an hour. I was dehydrated yesterday. I was so busy trying to fix Xmas dinner for my family that I didnt take the time to eat/drink the necessary fluids. That won't happen again. It has been 5 days since surgery and even though I researched the lap band surgery thoroughly, nothing could really prepare me for the real deal. One oz every 20minutes is a very new process. This is a new journey but I am truly blessed and grateful that I have family and friends that are cheering me on. I have a long hard road but I am so ready.
