First Post- Post-Op

Dec 16, 2011

My surgical date was moved up and I went for gastric bypass and hiatial hernia repair on 11/23/11. I missed my sons first Thanksgiving cause I was in the hospital but he'll never remember and this decision will add ten years + Thanksgivings on the end of this tour when he will know what's going on.  I am almost 4wks post op. I have lost 23lbs. I am still not feeling too swift, I am still experiencing waves of pain but every day is a little bit better. I am walking about 15 minutes a day which is below what I should be doing but it seems if I do more then that I pay the price in agony for hours, so I take it easy.  This is a journey and everybody's path is different. This is what works for me. Its been a rough start, but I keep focused on the end result: Health and life worth living.
