Al and I....Excited! (really really excited) lol!

UPDATE!!!!!!

Someone ate the damn potatoes and carrots....so I settled for the baby food (peach cobbler).

Ate half of a teeny jar and felt like I had just eaten a Thanksgiving dinner...plus desserts.

Niiiiice......LOL!

9 Days Out....

Soooooo....

I'm 9 days out from surgery. Down 15 lbs.

It's been an...interesting...week.

Surgery scared the heck out of me. I kept thinking "Great! I'm going to DIE over elective surgery." What a nightmare! But I didn't die. Albeit my supposed 1 hour in recovery stretched into near 5. *I knew I should've mentioned to the surgeon I REAAAALLY like the recovery room!*

Spent a couple nights in the hospital. Not fun. I can never sleep in a hospital. I sure as heck wasn't hungry while there. I was in too much PAIN!!!!

Came home Wednesday. OUCH!!!!! I slept most of the day....and stayed on LOTSA pain meds.

The weekend was full of team parties and emotional breakdowns. Without the pain there was plenty of room for the realization that i really really really like food. ((surprise surprise)) And i was ever so slightly sad that I can't have any right now.

So now...here I sit. I think I'll go puree some potatoes and carrots from last nights roast. Maybe I'll even add some gravy. YUM! lol! Not the heathiest choice, I know. But right this second, I'm not feeling the baby food I have up in the cabinet. Go figure...

I'll keep you posted. and maybe...just maybe...it'll be a little more exciting next time!
