Very thankful...one month update

Nov 24, 2010

I can't believe that today makes one month after surgery.  I have so much to be thankful for!  First, my God and family, they have been my rock though all of this.  Second, for this surgery and how it has changed my life in just this short time.

I have had no complications with surgery or even recovery after.   It seems very surreal right now, like did I really do this, but I look at the scale and see 24 lbs gone, look at my closet and see all the 30/32 size clothes gone along with most of my 26/28.  I eat 3 oz of soft foods and feel full.  It has become a neccessity not a way of life or enjoyment.  I'm rediscovering how much fun it is to play with the kids or even do yardwork with hubby and not have pain or feel guilty that I can't help him.  I could go on and on of how much more I can do now.  And do you know this best part? This is just the beginning!!!!!

So today, I am a very thankful woman, enjoying the blessing that I have been given.



(If you have any doubts on if this is the path for you, please pray, let God direct your steps in this journey, then go to your Dr and tell him " I want the sleeve!!!!")
