June 28th I was sleeved

I am so excited that surgery is finally over but I must say.. whoever really believes that this is really the easy way out is really wrong. There is nothing easy about not eating food for 3 week when food is your addiction. It is like stopping a narcotic or street drug cold turkey. This is really hard. When food is something that helped comfort me in my time of need and now I only have my liquid beverages to console.. I am physically doing pretty well.  I have incisions in 6 spots plus one spot where they inserted the CO to blow up my belly. I thought I was going to be in a lot more pain but I wasn't. I did what they wanted me to do at the hospital and followed instructions to the T. If you do what they tell you to do you too should have a successful procedure. Get up and walk, do your heel pumps. move around. Most importantly don't get dehydrated. I am bad with hospitals so I will make sure that I will get all the fluids I need to get in per day in. 

Can't wait to be able to eat cottage cheese because I love it and it has a bit of salt to it and that is what I am craving.. Weird I know. I will keep my blog up to date for the most part and will continue to post my weight loss, what has been easy for me and what has really sucked..
