One Month Surgiversary

Jun 19, 2010

Hi all, today is my one month surgiversary.  I have just finished uploading some comparison pics.  The right side was taken on the day of my surgery and the left was taken today...one month later.

As each day goes by I am feeling much better.  I cant seem to get over my tiredness after a little activity.  I cant wait till that goes away.  I still have some tenderness when I try to sleep on my stomach as well.  Not sure what that is all about. 

At least once a day my youngest son asks me if I regret having the surgery, and so far my answer has always been no.  I am not hungry, like I used to be and i can honestly say that I am SUPER DUPER SUPRISED to see how much I can eat.  I have serious cravings for soda, I will admit to taking tiny sips here and then but again to my surprise, sodas are so sweet for me.  I can hardly tolerate things with splenda as well as it seems too sweet for me. 

I bout Vitamin water zero last night, I think I really like it.  Plain water is too painful for me to drink.

People see me and say that they can tell I am loosing, and although I see the pics and saw the scale, I can honestly say that I dont see what they are seeing when I look in the mirror.  Not sure when that goes away.

I go back to see my DR in 3 months.  I will not be weighing myself till then.  I dont want to get caught up in the number mind games.  I will be posting my measurements in a few as well, and plan on keeping it up each month.
