Hello, Everybody!

[Soon2BMiniMommy 92]

First off, I have to apologize for dropping off the face of the earth. Here I was begging and begging to have everyone post their experience so I could learn from them, and then I had my surgery on the 20th, got lazy, and didn't post! I'm so sorry! Part of the problem was that I was reading and lurking from my little netbook on my recliner and it's too hard to type while sitting in a recliner!

But today I am back at work (yesterday first day back) so now I am at my desk and fully present again!

Please check out my blog (link below) for the full story…I did have a leak test scare.

I sure hope everyone is doing well and healing nicely. I am at the point where I almost forgot I had this done, until my still slightly-sore abdominal muscles remind me if I stretch too far (which I did 2 days ago – pulled something and was really sore for a day or two!)

Love you guys….I’m sorry for absence. I’m back, though! Can’t wait to share our experiences and catch up!!

Hi Chris,

It's good to hear from you and know you are well. I checked out your blog post, too. I'm so impressed that you've been able to return to work so soon!

The restriction of our various diets is all relative, I guess, because I was sleeved on the 25th and must have nothing but four Proteins drinks per day with 64 oz of non-caloric additional liquid for three weeks before moving on to full liquids and some purees. Congrats on the weight loss! BTW, I live in Washington State as well, splitting time between Leavenworth and Mill Creek. The distance over which we can send each other "good vibes" is minimal.

Oh, Free....that is tough!!! 3 weeks until full liquids....okay, now I can't complain :tongue2: although I feel for you. Yes, I'm right up the hill from Mill Creek....work in Lynnwood right next to the mall! I'm sending you happy thoughts of healing right now!
