Happy with my new life.

Feb 10, 2009

Well here it is Feb 10, and I am 8 days from 2 months out.  I have never felt better!  This is absolutely the best thing I have ever done.  If anyone is reading this that is still trying to make up their minds whether to have the surgery or not......PLEASE DO IT!!!!!  You will not regret it.  I have lost 71 lbs and feel great.  I can eat about 1/2 cup of food, and feel "satisfied".  I am really lucky in the fact that I have not had any problems.  I have tolerated food extremely well.  I can eat lettuce, beef, milk, nuts, fruit and many other foods with no problems.  I am a little freaked out by it, I was ready for alot of stomach aches.  I am hoping it will stay this way.  I have not tried a full blown salad yet, but I have ate a sub from Subway.  ( A six inch sub made 3 meals for me)  It had alot of veggies on it.  So, I am hoping I can tolerate a salad.  I am going to wait a couple more weeks.  I just made Eggfaces mini donuts.  I had a small taste of one of them before I put the icing on...it was sooo good!  I am going to eat one after while, I had to eat supper first.  There are so many different things you can fix, that are so very good and still within the limits of what we are "allowed".  Sometimes I feel like I am in a dream.  It is so nice to be able to get full on so very little.  I wish I would have been able to do this earlier in my life.  But I am just so thankful I was able to have it period.  It feels so good to be able to sit in the car and be comfortable.  To be able to sit in a booth at a restaurant more comfortable.  So many things are already happening!!  I am so excited!  Well I am going to go see what is on the main board.
