One month Post-Op.

 Hi friends. :-)

Welp... This month flew by! I can't believe how easy this has been. 

Physically: I often forget I have even recenty been sleeved. It's a breeze. The only physical change I have experienced is that I can only eat a tiny bit of food. Thats the point right? Haha! And the thing is: pre-op my problem was I was ALWAYS hungry, and hated the feeling of an empty stomach. Now post-op, I am NEVER hungry and full after a few bites. Ummmmm.... sweet! I pray the "hunger" never returns. Life is good without it. 

Emotionally: I can't tell you if the ups and downs I am experiencing have anything to do with the sleeve. I highly doubt it actually. I am going through a divorce, and have to say that most of my emotional ups and downs are due to that, and I am actually dealing with my problems for once instead of eating them away. So.... emotionally- GOOD! Somdays I am stressed, somedays lonely, somedays I am on top of the world. All in all: I think the sleeve has helped me in this department too. 

The stats: I started my pre-op diet at 344.5. Day of surgery I was 312. Today: I am 291. I have lost 21 pounds in the first month since surgery, and 54 pounds since Feb 1st. Can't complain. :-) 

Peace and Love, folks.
