Energy
Jun 09, 2010
I am 12 days out today. I have energy for the first time today. I have been cleaning & washing. Its the first day I have really felt like getting up & doing something w/out having to make myself.I go back to work on Monday & I really wanted to feel normal by the time I went back, so today is a good sign. = )
I am also able to get more liquids in & protein as well. I am doing better each day with that. I start on soft foods on Saturday. I am really looking forward to that. I am down 18.2 lb since surgery, that is less than 2 weeks. I am stoked about that. I pray the trend continues. I need to make a list of goals so I will have something to strive for other than just the big goal of being at 155 lb. I know I do better when I break it into small chunks & celebrate along the way.
I was able to wear a pair of jeans yesterday that I haven't been able to get into since Christmas. I felt so good in them. I also measured my hips & have lost 1 1/2" in my hips since a couple of days before surgery. To me that is a miracle in & of itself...my first NSV. Whoo, hoo!!!
I went to support group last night. I told them I was 11 days out & had lost 18 lb & they were like wow...that is like an RNY patient. They were all so proud of me & it made me feel really good. I have been checking my BP & its good (119/76). Even though I am still on meds right now, I don't believe it will be too long before I come off of them. My dr told me if I was to get down to 200 he would take me off of them. That is only 36 more lb to go. : )
I am so excited to see what this journey holds in store for me. God has been so good to me along the way. I can't do anything without Him. I never want to leave Him out. He is why I have success, He has given me the strength & determination to do this.
When my husband was hugging me bye this morning, he said, your getting boney. I said what??? he said I can tell your losing weight, I can feel your back bones. I just laughed...it made me feel good.
