Yep, today is my one month update.  I'm very happy to be through the liquids..although, lately, I need at least one shake and one bullet to supplement my protein intake.  I honestly hate the shakes..but I'm not getting in enough protein yet.

And now for the GREAT news!  I have lost 25 lbs!  I could have never lost this fast before surgery..Isn't the sleeve amazing?

I had my first foaming episode yesterday.  I was eating a small piece of leftover baked fish.  I know what happened.  I "got into TV" and just ate way too fast.  I had to run to the bathroom.  I wanted to puke so bad..All that came up was alot of water..then I burped, and all was well again!  I WILL be slowing down from here on out.  That was a wake-up call.

Other than that, things are going very well.  I really am MUCH happier!  I leave my house now.  I walk every day...In fact, I look forward to it.  Unbelievable!  I actually look forward to every day.  I used to sleep as much as possible.  NO MORE!  I am ready to face the day...every day, and I know I won't feel this great every day, but I'm taking each day with this renewed outlook, and it makes life enjoyable.  Others around me even comment on how much happier I seem..My sister said she worried about me all the time before surgery.  She told me yesterday she doesn't worry anymore.  Said she's real happy I got the surgery.  SO AM I!  I'm finally living and have much joy and happiness!  I'm easier to live with!  That's for sure.

To anyone thinking of getting the sleeve...Don't hesitate!  Sure there are a few struggles along the way..but OH the PAYOFF just can't be beat!  Love you guys...my sweet support team.
