2 months today

Aug 04, 2010

I honestly cannot believe that two months has already gone by since my surgery!  Time has absolutely flown by.  I feel amazing. For once in my life, I know that I will lose the weight that I need to lose and that I will feel even better as I continue my journey.  I can't help but wonder, if I feel this good now, how will I feel when I lose another 28 pounds, or better yet, 100 pounds.  I am so excited about what my future holds for me!  

I never re-started my blood pressure medicine after surgery which I am extremely grateful for.  Unfortunately, I am on more medicines now than before surgery, but I know this will pass over time.  I went to my monthly support group meeting last night and after talking to the nurse, I will be starting Carafate for the nausea.  I know of this drug and it really does do good things, so I am kind of excited to start it and hopefully put an end to the nausea.  Carafate coats the stomach and helps with any ulcers.  

Other than that, everything is pretty much the same.  I am lucky that I can seem to eat anything I want so far.....well, at least everything I've tried.  I haven't tried any sugar and have no desire to.  I don't care to know if it makes me sick or not since I hope to keep it out of my diet either way.  This journey for me is all about health.  Don't get me wrong, I want to look good, but just because someone looks good on the outside, doesn't mean everything is looking good on the inside.  So, for me, true success will be eating healthy, living an active life, looking healthy, and not going back to unhealthy old habits.  

Good luck everyone with your own journey and I hope everyone is doing great and feeling wonderful!!  :)
