I was one of the last patients of the day. There were delays caused by someone else's surgery.
I checked in at 10am and was prepped by 11 or so. They didn't take me to surgery until around 3pm. I was out of recovery and in a room by 630pm. I also had hernia repair on my esophagus so that may have added a little time.
I was talking to my husband before 7pm and walking before 9pm. I got up several times during the night and walked.
I walked several times in the morning and checked out the next day at 1pm and came home.
Had a 5 hour drive so we had to stop every hour or so and I had to get out and walk.
All the walking really helped me leave the hospital earlier and feel better at home. I still walk many times s day.
Surgery was 12/22/14

I had surgery 12/22/14 and am now in the pureed stage.
When I first joined this site, I thought I saw some photos someone had posted of their foods/portions on a plate or dish so you could see the variety, the size and what they were eating. Those were interesting to me.
I have looked around but haven't found anything like this. I also did some web searches and couldn't find anything.
Has anyone seen anything like this on this site or another site?
Thank you! :-)

HI all! Today is exactly 9 Weeks since I had my sleeve surgery. I have read a lot of post on here pre and post surgery about people being so dishearten over the numbers on the scale when they weigh. I told myself back before my surgery that I was NOT going to fall victim to the stinking scale! That hellacious thing has a way of ruining a persons whole day/week. Now I know some people can weigh everyday and whatever number pops up they can live with but I know me, I know my past, and I know how many times that Sucker has knocked the wind out of my sails and made me feel defeated. NOT this time honey! So what I did do with my daughter help (Partly to make sure I couldn't fudge on the numbers later) was measured every part of my body. Today is the first time we got the measuring tape out and revisited those numbers and I have to say I am astonished! These inches I have lost so far, far surpasses the feeling I got from any scale number! People are always asking me for recommendations of what they should do and my advice is to take your measurements because you can almost bet when that scale isn't moving but your following orders your probably still losing inches. I'm a open book so I will share my numbers with you...
Under bust - 3inches
Smallest part of waist -4 inches
Natural waist -6 inches
Buttock, booty, lovely lady lumps -10 inches!!!!! Yes -10 inches!! Crazy!!(Don't fret there's plenty more where that came from)
Upper arm -3inches
Thighs -6 inches (loving this)
Calves-1 1/2 inches.
Such a long way to go but I am so incredibly grateful for my sleeve and the help it has given me to finally be succeeding at something I've wanted for so long! Hey does this count as a NSV?? ( ps: I do weigh myself but only bi-weekly if I feel like it:)
