Crazy how time flys!

I have lost hair, apatite, a nail, some more of my sanity and am ALREADY 3 1/2 months after surgery 80 pounds lighter!!! Its been at quite a cost, in my eyes, but for the most part the side effects have been common for this procedure. I did have a large water pocket along the incision line that was very painful but everything else is a matter of adjustment.
Adjustments for myself to maintain being health as i was prior; taking the medicines, keep water going through me,  eating and correctly all while my body doesn't seem to want anything 80% of the time!
Adjustments of outdoor/country home chores, limiting activity and i have never even sat still though an entire movie!
Adjustments in emotions that peel away with the pounds, not to mention hormonal changes. ( I know corny but very true!)
Adjustments in looking for work, continued health care......WE ALL KNOW ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AND BE A CHANGE OF LIFE but when it comes your turn, you really realize there's so much more going to happen.
Between missing the summer activities, breaking up with a love, finding new physical damage to my joints/nerves and having to play the weighting game in healing and getting employment and such going...the frustration level is at full tilt!
Open abdominal after trying to go laproscopicly was a rough way to go but was a DEARLY unfortunate need. Not only do i have tire track looking staple scars from cleavage to bellybutton i have 5 1-2inch incisions cross way too!
All i have to say is LOOSE AS MUCH WEIGHT AS POSSIBLE AND STICK TO STRICT GUIDELINES PRIOR TO SURGERY you do not want opened up all the way. I tried my best and lost over 30 but i still am haunted by "if i just would tried harder maybe there would been enough room to do it l;aroscopiclly".

I am truly going to make some time to go over this at least 2x's a mo or more if able from internet connection problems out here because having no support hasn't helped either....with the trials of my health problems before surgery i made a assumption because i have this time line of needs and charted months ahead the after life wouldn't be near as bad or hard. WRONG! its more work and w/o the energy to do any of it!
Take it from me...count on the worst..then you wont be so disappointed and depressed.
