One month post-op.
Today is my one month surgiversary and I'm doing really good. Never would I have imagined that I could possibly lose 18 pounds in one month, but that is exactly what I've been able to do. I'm so excited because I only have 39 pounds more to lose until I hit my DREAM goal of 120 pounds. I haven't been 120 pounds since I got pregnant with my oldest child over 17 years ago!!! I couldn't be more happy about my decision to have VSG surgery. It was the right choice for me and for my life. The first week after surgery was really difficult on me. I had quite a lot of pain from gas and the only thing that made it better was time. I tried all the hints that everybody recommends, but my own body just wanted time to recover. Things have gone really well each subsequent week and I honestly feel better after each week passes. I do have moments of severe mourning for my old food habits. I have to be honest and say that I still miss bad food, but I didn't expect to have that immediately dissappear from my life. I've spent the last 17+ years pretty much eating whatever I wanted, when I wanted, except of course the many times that I tried to diet without long success. I keep reminding myself that my body is getting healthier everyday and that is what is important. I can only imagine the years that I have added onto my life with this surgery. It's been a good ride so far and I'm so thankful that I have had a good experience so far!! 1 Comment(s)
