Well October 30th has come and gone. I did it! It was not as bad as I thought it would be. In fact it was pretty easy. The folks at the hospital were great and very supportive. I met two people who also had simalar procedures on the same day. I am still a little sore and wish I did not have to return to work and could really concentrate on me a little more. I am not sure how I will tackle all the eating events to come this week. I am not interested in feeling bad or sick. I kinda miss food and not sure what I can or can not eat yet. I have been taking it very slow and have not introduced any real food. I lost 6lbs in one week. That was pretty incredible. I did tell Carolyn and feel good about that. I still can;t tell my mother and I am not sure what that is all about. I guess I don;t want to deal with how much she really had to do with me making the choice to move forward. She is a greater influence in my adult life than I think she realizes. Jerry has been great and really supportive. I think he looks forward to me feeling and looking better. I am still emotionally confused and not sure what that is all about. I know it will get better and normal will be what I get used to!:confused:
