3 WEEKS OUT...

Jun 05, 2007

Today I am officially 3 weeks out from my RNY on May 15th!  Some days, I simply can not believe this is my life - I feel so grateful for the gift of this surgery - the opportunity for a "do over" for my life!  What a blessing.

In general, I feel good.  Sometimes I feel like I didn't even have anything done.  My incisions are in that itchy healing stage, so they're usually what reminds me that I'm post-op.  I don't crave the junk food and sweets that used to haunt me.  I am careful to not over-exercise yet, as I know internally I'm not all healed yet.  I can eat just about whatever meat I have prepared for my family for dinner, and as long as I'm careful to chew properly and eat slowly.

I'm going to work on posting a "weight chart" or something like I've seen on other people's profiles.  I want to offer as much information as I can to anyone who might be investigating this as an option for themselves.  

It truely has changed my life - and if I can say that at 3 weeks out, I can't imagine what it'll be like 3 months or even 3 years from now!
