Almost a month
May 02, 2009
I'm a horrible blogger. I start with he best of intentions and then well, you know, life happens.Anyway, it's almost a month since my surgery. I can't believe how well things have gone. From the evening of surgery I have felt physically excellent. With the exception of a few days where I've either eaten too fast or not chewed well enough, I have tolerated everything about this surgery extremely well. I'm please to report that I am NOT lactose intolerant. I know that was a possibility going in to this but I can't even begin to imagine a lactose free life. It would be so hard to get in the protein, that's for sure.
I'm on track to losing 20 pounds this month. That's not including the 13 lbs of water weight I came home with. I've lost 37 pounds total since the end of February. I've brought out all my old clothes that were too small. I've been closet shopping and it's been a huge money saver. I'm not planning on buying any new clothes until we go on vacation in July. I've given away thousands of dollars worth of beautiful clothes that will never fit me again. Once upon a time, I had a professional job and then ran my own company for several years and I had accumulated quite the wardrobe.
