Revelations....

Jul 22, 2011

I had gastric bypass... LOL! Sounds like a crazy revelation to have two weeks and two days after surgery but everyday I forget that I had the surgery. My sister bought me a beautiful bracelet the day I was released from the hospital and I am using this bracelet as my reminder. Each time I think of eating the wrong thing or have moments of weakness, I look at it, touch it and say a quick prayer to GOD to remove the temptation from my tongue and mind.  

My personal life is becoming a bit sticky as well. People are confused on how to react to me because I cannot eat the same things. My mother in laws' birthday cookout was the first test. Being around all of the food and people watching my reaction to the food is funny. Then you have the questions from people asking how much I have lost and how surprised they are that I havent lost more. LOL!! How crazy? 25lbs in two weeks sounds great enough for me. Comments like these must bouce off of me like rubber. 

In other news... I walked 4.2 miles on July 20th! Super excited about that! On July 21st my surgeon for my HS offically released me from sugery and now I can swim. For the first time in two years I will be able to swim in an ocean water. Thank You Jesus!
