Tomorrow's the day!!

I had surgery 1 week ago today, and I agree it was more discomfort then pain. I had no problems at all, and never even used the morphine. I was given Toredol through the IV and that was enough. Once home Liquid Tylenol was enough. I took 1 week off of work, and went back today feeling very well. My biggest discomfort at the moment is the itching of my largest incision. I had an overnight stay, but could have gone home just as well. I've had laproscopic gall bladder surgery, and compared to that, this was a breeze. The hardest part about not eating is simply habit---reaching to taste something I'm cooking, wanting to eat the last bite of something on a plate. So far I have no real hunger at all. I never dreamed I could exist on these few calories without feeling ill and starving. I'm sure the presurgery diet helped a great deal with that, or so I told myself as I hung on by the skin of my teeth to that diet. I hope everyone's future surgeries go just as well as mine, and now we all just have to learn how to listen to our bodies and eat right. It's exciting to actually look forward to losing weight without the usual "if" involved.

Congrats to all of us on being brave enough to take a big step in the right direction!
