3 weeks post-op

Here we are, 3 weeks post-op!  Time is flying!!!  I went back to work after 1 week and found that I was very tired by the afternoon but it felt good to get out of the house and not feel sorry for myself.  Everything gets easier every day.  My plantar fascitis is rarely bothering me anymore (a far cry from the daily agony).  All of my incisions are healed and looking great!  I will be seeing Dr. Starr tomorrow for my follow up and to find out if I am cleared to start going to the gym.  Never in my life have I been excited to go to a gym!!!  Most days I think they did surgery on my brain instead of my stomach.  LOL.  My frame of mind seems to have completely changed (for the better) since surgery.  When I see my hubby or kids drinking pop, I cringe and can only think about all of the terrible things that it is doing to their bodies.  I am trying extremely hard to get them to start eating and drinking better and for the most part they have.  My hubby has lost 30lbs since New Years, one of my daughters has lost 8lbs and the other 2lbs.  Any treats that come in the house have been replaced with lower sugar and lower fat versions and are in limited quantities.  I no longer crave junk food of any kind.  The only thing that I miss at times is pizza but not to the point where it bothers me for more than a few minutes.  My new cravings are for salad, Subway, veggies and chicken salad (most of which I can't have just yet.....)  There are days where I am moody, others where I am sleepy and most where I feel happy!!!  My progress as of today.......  I have lost 45lbs since New Years, 17lbs since surgery and a whopping 36.5 inches overall!!!
