I had the surgery. I
am adjusting more
slowly than I
anticipated. I guess
I just need to let
go of my controlling
nature. I got really
tired today walking
in Wal mart so I
went home and went
to sleep. I have had
a little bit of pain
on my left
side...I'm sure
where the major work
was done. I try not
to medicate because
I need to spend more
time with the kids
too. The day of
surgery...I was
asking myself what
in the heck did I
do....I am taking it
one day at a time. I
am thinking about
staying home for the
rest of month at
least until I feel
better. Keep me in
your prayers. I know
I did this so that I
could be here for my
kids...its just
alot. Thank you for
checking on me.
I am doing great...I think. I am still tired all the time. It is hard to eat enough, and get all my fluids in. It kinda weird growing up fat and trying not to eat all the time and then having surgery and that's all you get to do. EAT....EAT.....and EAT. I have lost a total of 32lbs in my 6weeks. I'm not bragging cuz I haven't exercise a day. I want to....kinda. I can just alway find everything else in the world to do. I gotta get into it. I know that.
I have my check-up on Jan 7th. I really don't know what to expect. I will try to keep everyone updated. And I will get some exercise in.
Lets just say that I thought I would be worse. I am doing great. I have lost 18lbs. I feel wonderful. I have energy that I didn't before. It is still hard to get enough in but I am working on that. The vitamins are gross. I think that I may need to get some other ones. I am so happy that I made this decision. I love myself.
I am very excited for the surgery. No one understands that. They think I should be nervous and scared. I just started getting scared tonight (3 days before) I'm not really scared of the procedure. I am scared of Begining a new life for me. Maybe scared is not the word. I have a great physician and a wonderful hospital. I am a RN student so the staff better be nice to me LOL.
I will keep everyone updated and post a full body (ugh) before pic on Thursday. Thanks everyone for you support.
