ONE WEEK POST-OP FROM SLEEVE ....FINALLY FEELING HUMAN AGAIN!!

I  had my sleeve done in Calgary  last monday and was released from hospital on thursday.  I felt pretty miserable the first few days but am slowly starting to heal up! The most frustrating thing was to come out of hospital weighing 5 pounds more than when I went in.  It was a little discouraging but I kept hoping (!!) that it was water weight from the IV .....and it was! YEAH .....that 5 pounds came off within a couple of days of coming home and now I am down that 5 pounds plus 8 more pounds in the 7 days since surgery.  This alone makes me feel so energized and optimistic about my weightloss. I know that I will  likely never see this kind of weightloss in a one  week period again, however,  it just gives me the hope and belief that I can finally kick this weight to the curb.  I have a lot of weight to lose (close to 200 pounds) and so I know that this is just a drop in the bucket but still I feel happy and hopeful.

 

For all of you on this journey ....I send my good wishes.  Thank you for your inspiration and hard work.  I hope a year from now I can post that I have had a huge success with my weightloss.  I don't know how long it will take me to get to my goal weight but I am going to commit to this journey, one step at a time. Slow and steady wins the race.

Have a great day!  :)

Congratulations!!! I am glad you are starting to feel human again.  It took me almost 3 weeks before I started to feel better.  Congratulations on the weight loss!!! Keep up the great work.

Thanks Amanda!

 

How are things going with you?  Where in Alberta are you located ....if you don't mind my asking!  I am in Calgary.  :)

I am from Edmonton.  I had my surgery on April 3, 2013 and so far I am down 88 pounds since surgery 124 pounds since my highest weight.  I had the RNY at the Royal Alex through the Weight Wise Program.

Glad to hear that the surgery is over and done with and that you are feeling better.  Those first few weeks are rough, I know.  You are doing great.  Congrats!

Thank you so much! :)
