Been awhile!!!!

Nov 14, 2012

Recap to current  Aug7th I had the surgery it was the weirdest thing I never really felt any different. I woke up in ICU with tubes in me and real sleepy. There wasn’t a lot of pain just some discomfort from the incision. Then it was time to start walking and getting used to eating clear fluid for the week. I went home and started my new life. Ended up back in the hospital with pneumonia the following Monday, spent another 3 days in the hospital. I don’t really recall eating a whole bunch during this time but there was some puree and clear liquids. I did a lot of walking and blowing on this device for lung function.

The first month I think I lost the weight the fastest I think I blew thru the first 50lbs which was wild to me It seemed like it was over night. The biggest adjustment has been clothes. I was holding try that I would not buy anything new until December 2012. Needless to say I could not wait. I have spent so much time shopping it’s been crazy. I have been buying things from everywhere. I even found that I could fit a pair of sweat pants from Wall-mart so I bought them. My shoe size even went down a half size.

I will admit it has not been all peaches and cream. Its gets ruff some days. And there have been days when I said F it and ate something I shouldn’t have. And on those days I pay for it dearly. I got frustrated about being dehydrated and drank some water to fast. I won’t do that again. Also being lazy on my birthday weekend and bought some popcorn chicken from burger king on a long road trip home you know how bad that was. The nights I am out late hanging with friends and they are eating whatever they want and I am sipping on water to keep from jumping in to the late night indulgence of bad food.

But know being 90lbs lighter able to buy clothes out of Macy’s and walk faster, climb steps easier everything was worth the trouble and to be honest it really wasn’t all that bad.

We will see how Thanksgiving and Christmas go!
