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!
