Another week gone by, I think I was on a high the last couple of weeks because I really don't feel as well as I did before. Everytime I take my pills my stomach hurts for hours and the only way to get rid of the pain is to curl up in a ball. I don't want to call the doctor because I feel like a pain in the butt, so I will address my concers when I visit him on the 29th. I've already been back to the doctors twice this week, I had a painful lump in my arm which was caused from my iv. The swelling has finally gone down so I'm not scared anymore. I still don't feel like eating, except when I see something I shouldn't be having :) back to the mental thing again. I really feel like the same ol' me. I thought when I had gotten this surgery I would feel funny or my stomach would feel different. I really feel the same except now I think I'm a little more in tune with my body now..

So it's been one long week since my surgery, I'm feeling really good! I'm down 10 lbs since my surgery! I'm still not smoking! I'm really looking forward to adding new foods to my diet.. The pure liquid days are behind me.. now I can have yogart! Whoo hoo!! :) I don't feel hungry so I don't know why I care what I can and can't eat! I think it must be a mental thing because my family can eat whatever they want and I can't. I started feeling weak yesterday and I figured out that I must keep drinking non-stop or I feel like I'm light headed. Once I started drinking again I started feeling normal. Hopefully this week flys by..

FIRST WEEK OF RECOVERY
on May 9, 2008 5:27 am

It's been 4 days since my surgery and 1 week without solid food!( yeah it really stinks) I came home from the hospital on Wednesday and still very wiped out! It's really hard coming home and everyone in the house is able to eat a "normal" diet and I'm still on my strict diet! I've also gone 5 days without smoking!! I NEVER thought that would happen! Only because Dr. Fitzer scared me to death and Chantix! Eventually I would end up with lung cancer. Other than no solid food and no smoking I feel really great! It still hurts to laugh..I'm going to do my weekly weigh in's on Modays the date of my surgery. Today is my birthday and I'm not happy about being another year older, but I'm happy about the year coming forward. I'm really looking forward to getting into shape and being healthy! I can't wait to donate my old clothing and feel comfortable in the way I dress again. I'm so done with the cotton stretch pants!
