1 Month Post Op

May 10, 2012

So I am one month post op. I have done well considering i thought i would be having a harder time. I guess when your mentally really for the challange it makes it easier. I do have to admit that I started eating solid foods earlier than I was supposed to. Of course I can't eat any where near what I'm used to. I know which foods will never feel right for me. I don't get the same enjoyment of going out to eat or being at a family event with food everywhere. I see food like a burden now. I have tons more energy and I find myself doing more. I'm  not as tired or have the draggy feeling like I used to. To date I have lost 26 lbs since March 19th (Start of my 2 week diet) and since surgery 16lbs. So I can't complain. I think next month I should be able to start exercising and lifting weight to start toning up. I have been walking 2 miles 5x a week. This week has been hard since I have been busy and with rain lately I haven't been outside. So I gotta invest in a treadmill soon. I have alot of things going on in my life with parties and graduations that I don't have time to make working out a priority. I have a workout buddy (sister) who is great about motivating me and getting me out on the track when i don't feel like going and I do the same for her. So it works. She's a teacher so she's also busy this month. I have not compliants about my sleeve. I love it and has been one of the best things I have done in my life. IDK why I waited to so  long to get this done. So I haven't yet been back to my dr since my procedure due to work and financial it's been hard to get away. I feel great though and hope to see him in my 2nd month.
