4 days out!

Oct 25, 2014

it's 5 days after my surgery-I made it through!  All I can say is it gets better every day.  The day after was the worse, I thought to myself what did I do to myself, I would have given anything to be preop again and change my mind... I look back and I see it was only becaue of the way I felt that day.  I have talked to others who have had their surgerys earlier this week like me and not all of them had that feeling, some yes but many bounced right back.  I think this has to do with age, and if you actually take the time you need to recover and follow every instruction your dr. and his staff gave you it will go more smoothly for you. Take your time recovering, don't rush to get back to doing things.  I am getting excited for the future, learning how to develop a different relationship with food and looking forward to all of the healthy food I will be able to introduce as time goes on.  I am still on a full liquid post op diet, Tuesday I get to start adding things in, didn't think I'd ever say this but I'm kinda excited for actual soup and applesauce!  I am not feeling hungry... but I can see that there were times I would have ate something if I could have.  and I thought to myself, that is what got me to where I am, I really don't think I could have lost the weight without the surgery for that reason, I don't have a choice at this time but to step back and take a good look at what got me to this point.  I'm excited about recovering, buying new clothes, making more friends and just having a rebirth or sorts, looking to positive changes in my future.  Good luck to those recovering and for those who are on this journey!.
