Today I am back to my weight that I was on surgery date, 8/12/09.  I was so full of fluid and needless to say it hasn't been a "walk in the park".  Last night I experienced very weird symptoms after taking Tylenol PM.  It didn't make me sleep, but instead gave me "nervous impulses or small seizures" for about 2 hours.  My neck spasmed, my arms and hands, my legs and it was not a good feeling! I tried to relax, took a shower, called a friend in a panic, stretched my back (thinking it was from the morphine I had injected in my back for surgery) and finally rode it out.  I was back up at 6 am and need to get ready to go to my first doctor's appointment since surgery.  I was told when I have the port/drain taken out today that I will be doing much better.  I WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!!  Deb

Tomorrow is the day.  I have been on the 2 week fluid diet and did the bowel prep.  Today was a little rough spending most of my time in the bathroom.  I have to remind myself why I am doing this: I want to be there for my kids as they grow up and my grandkids; I want to be hired for a job and not have to listen to the interviewer talk about all the steps that are in the school (that she assumes I will not be able to walk everyday); I want to get off most of my medications and not feel like I am 10 years older; I want to hit 200 lbs again and have it feel good; I want to get into a swimsuit and not feel like I am the fattest one in the pool; AND I WANT TO FEEL GOOD AGAIN!
