Thanks. Through the last couple years the ability to laugh at some grim stuff has been a relief.

I'm really looking forward to working through the next year or two and getting dialed into life at goal weight.

I agree, and when you have sets backs you don't over stress yourself... it'll just make matters worse. That's why I thought your Chick-fil-a story was so halarious. You just own up to it, bragged about how great it was....which Chick-fil-a is amazing ...and got back to business.

How are you feeling @@Dub? I saw that you also had an October 13th surgery date. Hope all went well.

Doing really well, thanks.

My only pain is from an abdominal hernia that he repaired

It's only a problem when I sit up and get out of the bed

Been walking a few times

Nothing as far as gas pain

I feel really good, actually. Just sleepy from the meds and from being woken up every few minutes last night.

Toradol injections have helped tremendously with swelling and my herniated disc.

Wish I could have this for the trip home later today.

So glad to hear you are doing well! Keep us posted!

Thank you, everyone.

It's going great.

I've had 50 oz Water and two Protein shakes thus far today. The powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate mixes a little thin compared to others and that is exactly what I want right now.

Going to get up and mix another shake soon.

Standing up is getting easier and easier the more I do it. The hernia pain is no longer a shooting-tugging pain when I stand. Everything is well. Overall body soreness was expected and has been less than anticipated. Abdominal swelling is decreasing, too.

I was told to wait until Friday (tomorrow) to get in the shower. I'm really looking forward to this bigtime.

I have zero regrets about anything related to the surgery.....only that I wished I done it sooner.

Going to keep on keeping on through the weekend and go see the magician-surgeon on Monday.

I just got off the phone with my sister and was able to solidify our travel plans for the upcoming Holidays. We even discussed some family beach visits for the Summer. My employer is generous on vacation allowed (been with them 20 years now) and I hope to use some for legitimate vacation time next year vs using it all for sickness-injury this year and last year. Life is getting ready to get fun at all new levels.

I'm extremely grateful for everything and a huge fan of this site and the wonderful people that post here. You all have been a valuable resource throughout the last several months. We certainly have some unique interests and challenges to face, but we don't have to do so alone. That is powerful.

Glad to here everything is going well, I met my surgeon today and plan is for surgery end of December, I'm thinking ahead about a beach vacation next summer and I completely relate to taking time off for good things instead of using all my time for illness and such. Take care.
