One month...
Sep 22, 2010
Wow i can't believe its has already been one month since my surgery and it seams like so much has happened. new feelings and experiences. Its almost like i have a new body and I need to get used to is all over again. New feelings when i eat. the pain of burping... or just passing gas for that matter. I have been upped to my Stage two diet and its so weird being afraid to eat something because i don't want to feel that painful gas feeling of the pain of wanting to throw up!
I guess its normal to have some regrets in the beginning right? my regrets are slowly going away as i seen the pounds melt away and the compliments I've been getting about people telling me my face looks smaller and my shoulders. i thought my face was small enough as is but knowing my shoulders are getting smaller is wonderful news (since I've always thought my tiny head was not meant for this big, broad, manly shoulders of mine!)
But all and all I'm doing well being one month post opp. I'm healing great and i have such a huge support from not only family but my friends and my wonderful boyfriend. I'm looking forward to being able to do more with him, and my and my girl friends are already planing an awesome trip to Six Flags next year since i will be able to get on the rides again! I look forward to my new life... and its already started, Just takeing one baby step at a time.
Well being one month out i do have some down sides: i've noticed i've been more.... hungrier? i guess i would call it. and i do find my self wanting to eat every few hours... which kinda drive me nuts. and i've been getting my cravings back... like wanting to drive to Burger King and get hash browns! I dont want to start going back to my old habbits... My surgery would have been in vain... this is my chance to do something healthy with my life.. but its so hard... now i understand what my mom and aunt mean when they say its not easy.... Trying to get 64 ounces of water in. 60 grams of protien in... i never expected it to be this dificult... i just hope this comes easier as i go on!
Well i have my Aunt Patty for support and advice... and she's been extreamly helpful!
Well i'm done blabbing.. i'm going to finish my water and and do something productive with myself! ^_^ v

The Clock Is Ticking...

With one month to go before my surgery I'm still struggling to lose 20lbs... My boyfriend, Devon, is a huge support. along with my family who have always supported me. but 20 pounds in 1 month seams to me like i need to start praying for a miracle or got on a serious liquid diet while keeping up with my Belly Dancing and going out for walk with Devon. I'll Admit... I'm scared this is my first surgery EVER. yeah I've been put to sleep for a few procedures and that gave me the courage to go on with this. I always feared that once i go to sleep i would never wake up.. But here i am, excited and ready to go! I look forward to doing all the things i can't do anymore such as Riding a bike, Long walks. and going to the amusement park again! I also look forward to no longer feeling sick all the time and i cant wait to see my transformation!
