I AM BANDED!!!

I am officially a bandster! My surgery was yesterday, and it went really well. Here is how it all went down. We spent the night in Columbia, MO and woke up at 5am. I had to check in at 6, and by 6:30 I was getting all the pre-op stuff done. I was the first surgery of that day, and was given some "I don't care juice" and was wheeled away at 7:30. The next thing I remembered was waking up in the hospital room with my husband and my nurse at 9:30. I wasn't in pain, but I was pretty nauseous. I walked to the bathroom, and felt even more icky, then my nurse gave me some really good stuff that knocked me out and made the icky feeling go away. I woke up at 2:30 and felt really really good. We packed up all my stuff and went home.

We live about 3 hours away from the hospital, but the ride wasn't that bad. We stopped a couple times to walk around and even went to Walmart to get some popsicles. When we got back I went straight to bed and woke up around 7 this morning.

I had some hot tea for breakfast and a little cream of wheat. Other than that, I'm not really hungry. I have been to the pharmacy to pick up my pain meds, but I don't think I need them. If I had to rate my pain its a dull 4 or a 5, like a pain you would feel after 1000 sit ups. It only hurts when I get up or sit down, but if Im still there is hardly any pain.

I will post my pictures soon, I need to figure out how to do it;)

ps I have lost more than 11 pounds since April11!
