One Month Out

Feb 26, 2015

Tomorrow will be 30 days since my DS and I am down 36 pounds! I feel wonderful! I did have a rough week and a 1/2 last week, and I had bad depression. Crying all day long, feeling like I had made a mistake with the surgery..but finally I bounced back and no longer feel that way at all! I had my 30 day follow up with my surgeon and nutritionist yesterday, and they told me I am doing very well! Which is obviously always great to hear! I had the hardest hardest time with drinking the protein shakes using powder...absolutely DISGUSTING! I was given the green light to try the pre made protein shakes as well as protein bars. I purchased the Premier Chocolate shake and the variety pack bars which each bar and shake have 30g protein and low in sugar! So huge plus! And, they taste great to boot! Thank the heavens! 

This has in NO way been an easy road, and I will never sugar coat the struggle to anyone. Because it is absolutely a mental and physical challenge and change. But now that I am healing, I am getting myself back..I feel a million times better this week. I am so fortunate for the support of my family and friends. It is crucial to have that support system! I know not every day is going to be as great as the day before, but I am strong, and I am completely happy with my decision to go through this. Those that are planning surgery and have not gone through it yet, it IS a struggle, but I promise you, it gets better! :)
