I Have Had My Gastric By-Pass Surgery

Well, I am back and running. I have been very bad about the way I have kept up my blogging, and I will try to do better. I have had my surgery. It was on the 16th and everything went well. I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia and I didn't like it. I felt like the top of my head was on fire and I couldn't open my eyes. My mouth was dry like cotton and I couldn't get enough water. I hate that feeling. Other than those moments, I am down 20 pounds since Monday and I am excited about loosing more. (What a way to loose 20 pounds)
I am no longer working at Fantastic Slaves. I was replaced by a 22 year old that has 1 year hair experience, one who I hired and they went behind my back and promoted her to my position and didn't have the decency to tell me themselves. I had to find out through my best friend, who also worked there and no longer does. It has been an eye-opening experience that is for sure. I didn't think they were like that and I didn't think they would stab me in the back. Oh well, they are Iranian. I feel free of them, and I am de-programing my self, it will take awhile. I will be doing hair in my house for a while and if I don't make enough, I can get another job. I am taking a break and trying to get feeling better.
The kids have been a help and my husband a God send, and so has my sisters and brothers and sweet Mother. I have had the best help. I feel very fortunate and I don't want to ever have those feelings replaced by money and the root of it. I know it is evil like the Bible says. I have a new outtake on life, and with that I feel on top of the world. I will send pics when I am down more poundage.

I'm glad to hear your surgery went well. 20 pounds in less than a week is crazy! I look forward to the photos!

Sorry to hear about what your job did...you don't want to work for people like that so it's a blessing in disguise!
