I've been bad....
Just a quick update,
This is the 5th day since surgery. I can't believe how well everything is going right now!!! My pain is way down and I actually was able to sleep 6 hours straight through last night. The last couple of days I've gotten in 68+ oz water and about 60-70g protein. I was expecting to have difficutly getting in the water, but it's been easy. I was surprised how much I hurt in the first couple of days, and I guess now I can't believe how good I'm feeling. Saw a movie yesterday, felt so good to get out of the house.
My parents have been funny, they don't want to eat in front of me. When we went to the theatre my mom asked if not eating popcorn was going to bother me, I said of course not. She said, "well, what if I ate it?" I told her I made a choice and part of what I'm going to have to deal with is the psychological issues. I changed my life, not theirs. It's not anybody else's fault I got so large, don't feel guitly. In a couple of months I may feel different about seeing people eat, right now I couldn't care less about food (to close to surgery I think).
I go back to my house tomorrow and am looking forward to it. All my friends in Port Huron I know are looking forward to me coming back. They've taken care of my house/mail/lawn and will continue until I'm able to do it. Things have been very positive and I'm overhwhelmed daily by the support I've gotten.
On Monday I've got my first post-op rehearsal with my kids. It'll be interesting. One of my parents/friends told them what kind of surgery I had so I won't have to make a big ordeal out of that. My only concern is I've got a home football game next week. With the way the healing's been going I'm sure it'll be fine but exhausted at the end.
Thanks for the support on here guys, it's been helpful!
