I MADE IT!

I am now almost 2 wks post-op. I have not had any complications and I can even sleep on my stomach now!!! Dr. V is a great surgeon. If anyone in the Charlotte area looking for a surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. David Voellinger of Southeast Bariatrics. I am looking forward to seeing how much I have lost post surgery. I lost 10lbs on the 2 wk. liquid diet. I thought that was going to be hard but after I found the soup that I liked it really wasn't that bad. Yes I did cheat a few times but I kept it heathly. I had a grilled chicken salad. I figured the grill chicken would give me protein and hey who can go wrong with salad! HA! After surgery now, it is almost hard to for me to get anything in. I get full so fast and I do not want to eat or drink. I have gotten lightheaded almost everyday. I am told that's because I do not get enough protein in. I bought several bottles of Isopure protein drinks, so I start my day with that so I will have my protein early. Having the surgery is the best decision I could have made for my life. I am walking everyday now and I have joined the YMCA! Remember, the race is not given to the swift nor to the strong but to the one who endures until end! I am a WINNER and failure for me is NOT AN OPTION!
I started my liquids!

I will be having my surgery on June 23, 2008. I am so excited about the surgery! 2008 has brought NEW BEGINNINGS in my life. I have been the big girl amongst my friends all my life. I am now looking for being amongst the smaller girls in my circle of friends. My best friend just had the RNY in March 2008 and she looks great! I am not going to let that heffa get smaller than me! Ha! We both are excited about our New Beginnings. I have met new friends on this website along my journey and I enjoy the excitement of all of us getting prepared for a new phase in our lives!
