just happy

Feb 07, 2010

I feel like my heart is just overflowing, I am so grateful and so happy. I feel like a normal eater now. All my life I have eaten large amounts of food, I was always thin until the last 13 years or so. But now I get full, it is so weird, and I love it. And it is perfect.
I don't say a lot about my faith, and I shouldn't be that way. The Lord has been with me through this entire wls journey. He helped me so much. When the date was getting close, and I started having doubts, he showed me over and over again, that this was the right thing to do.
The first night after surgery I had a terrible time with my pain meds, they did not work, it was truly horrendous, but even then the Lord never left me. He was there and his presence was so strong, it still amazes me when I think about it.
I am so thankful, and if I can be a help to anyone contemplating having the surgery done, I would be glad to. I am going to post a more detailed account of my experiences in Mexico, but I am still trying to remember everything, and write it down. The anesthesia messed with my minda little, and I can't remembersome parts,  and I am not completely clear about the orderof some things, especially in the first 8 hours after surgery. I have six wonderful children at home, that missed me a lot, and I am still catching up with them. I missed them more than I can say. I was so homesick at night in Mexico I cried- every single night. My husband was wonderful, and I don't think my experience would have been anywhere near this great, had it not been for him. The last day there was like a mini second honeymoon (not sexually- like relationship wise). It was wonderful to be together, shopping and eating, talking,walking, we had so much fun. We don't get away from our children very often, so that probably made this even more special. I just cannot express how wonderful this surgery has been for me.
