1 month post op

Aug 25, 2011

So I made it!!!! I am 1 month post op tomorrow and I have lost 34lbs, which I am very happy about! So how would I describe this past month to someone pre-op? For me, this past month has been fantastic, scary, humiliating, tough, eye-opening and fun! In other words its been a roller-coaster. As well as figuring out that my tummy is not ready for salmon, I also caught a tummy bug and I am still having some bother with that. Other than that I have been very blessed as I am manging away, have been back at work for 2 weeks and dealing with that.

I do have mental hunger from time to time but I just remind myself that this too will pass. I still have alot of nerves about different things but making it through this month has shown me that I am strong when I need to be and I will make it through any potential future obstacles as well.

I am over the moon that I made this decision for myself and I am looking forward to my new life. I am meeting my surgeon on Tuesday and also having my first physio appointment that morning, so hopefully I will be able and ready for the exercise plan laid out for me.

Thank you to all my OH friends for being there for me!
