2 weeks post op
Apr 26, 2011
So its been 2 weeks and a day. The first week or so was alot rougher than I expected. The pain from the gas was horrific and it felt like nothing helped. And my emotions have been all over the place. The first week I totally regretted my decision. Since then I have had moments of regret, but for not real reason. I think it would have been easier not to get the surgery done. But then again I have spent most of my life doing what it easy...which is part of the reason I am the size that I am. I know this was the right decision and I look forward to the day when I can say that with proof and confidence. I know I have to be patient and I am trying.
The positive is that I am down 20 pounds..which is shocking because I convinced myself that I would be the one person who did not lose weight after the surgery. So that is a relief. And I have graduated to soft foods, which is going well. Being a slave to my stomach is something I will have to get used to and I know eventually it will become second nature. But I do look forward to being able to eat more than cheese, eggs and yogurt.
I am excited to see how the next few months unfold. I know there will be a lot of changes both physically and emotionally...stay tuned!

Tomorrow is the day!

So tomorrow is my surgery and I am feeling such an overwhelming mix of emotions. I am scared as anything about the actual surgery. Everything keeps going through my mind...silly things like: What if I wake up during surgery?!?!?! I am also scared of the unexpected. It seems as though everyone has a VERY different experience fked to many people about the surthough I have talked to many people about the surgery, there is still that element of the unknown and that is so scary. I am hoping and praying for a complication free procedure and recovery period. And then there is the emotional/psychological impact this will have on my life. I have tried to prepare for it as much as possible. but I also know that there is just so much you can prepare for a life changing experience. I know I am making the right decision. I am excited about the changing that will occur. I am excited about being healthy and being able to live a healthy and active lifestyle. but I am also so scared because I have never been thin and have no idea how to live life as a thin person. But I know I just have to take one day at a time. So for now I will focus on tomorrow. And I will go from there.
Heres to a safe surgery and healthy living!
