FIVE WEEKS TODAY!

Jan 19, 2011

I can't believe it's been five weeks already!  When I started the pre-op diet, I remember thinking to myself, "how am I going to get thru this for the next 4 weeks?"  But one day turned into another, then there was THE BIG DAY, and after that I got so wrapped up in making sure I had enough fluids, protein, vitamins, calcium & D, B-12...& going back to work...the time has flown!  Thankfully, I've had NO problems at all, and I have now lost 31 lbs.  I feel much more energetic, "clearer" in my head, and people are really starting to take notice of the weight loss.  Today I went thru my closet & spent several hours trying on clothes, DISCARDING some (too big!!), & moving some that haven't fit for a few years to the NOW FITS side of the closet.  I off my pain medicines for fibromyalgia, arthritis & restless leg syndrome...GONE!  I have dropped my CPAP setting by one already, & my neurologist thinks within 6 months I won't need it at all!  (Oh, happy day!)  Perhaps WLS isn't for everyone, but I am grateful every day for the existance of the VSG, my Dr.'s skill & his followup team, for the insurance being willing to cover it 90%...& I would have done it years ago had I known how great it all is!  Looking forward to the next 6 months & the changes it brings.
