What a week
Oct 28, 2007
When I look back and think, that just last Monday, I had surgery, and on Tuesday, I'd be walking 2 miles, I would have thought that someone was nuts. Well, considering that I suffered no complications and have been relatively painfree, I have to give thanks to God. I thought that the liquid diet would actually be harder than it actually is, but then again, my warden would say, that it's taking its toll on me emotionally...lol. Moreso, her emotional state since she has to put up with my disparate mood swings (these are HER words)...lol
Fat dreams 101....you notice more of the small things in life...normally, when you do all the cooking and now your spouse does it, you start to wonder if what they are selecting as food choices and the abundance of it are new methods of torture that they are devising and that "I declare war" has been slammed down on the table. LOL
For example, my wife cooks spaghetti last week, then because I needed to eat chicken broth, I cooked homemade chicken noodle soup but I would eat the strained broth, yet no one would eat enough of the chicken noodle or chicken out of the soup, so I'd have to go in and "see" my creation going to waste....awww...fat dreams or nightmares....all depends upon your outlook or interpretation.
This weekend, the kids wanted pizza, chinese chicken wings, and french fries...My menu: strained egg drop soup and then yesterday's treat, strained clam chowder....while the family indulged in lasagna. :) Definitely, war has begun. I raised enough hell with the wifey last night, that she failed to go to work on the next day. I'm convinced that I'm now sleeping with the enemy....and the kids are now double-agents. Working for whomever pays them their bidding. What they don't realize is that the wifey thinks she's a lone assassin and that she's used to not having her needs met. LOL
Weight loss progress...I've noticed this weekend that I've had an abundance of energy....probably because I'm "sleeping with the enemy"...read the first note and pay attention...lol
On Saturday, I walked three miles. On Sunday, I walked five....two during the mid-morning and three during the evening. And I also, had enough spare energy to cut an acre of grass...don't get it twisted...I was riding a mower. Momma didn't raise no fool. LOL
Unofficially, I've lost 12 pounds but I didn't want to report how much I've lost until my 2-week checkup but felt pressured to weigh myself for family and friends who keep asking me how much I've lost. I pretty much feel like the poster child for anyone who might/could be interested in having weight loss surgery...who were naysayers in the beginning when I first considered getting the surgery. Hopefully, this second week on the "losers" side will be just as smooth or much improved.
Quick Update

Well my two-year old is doing is "Belzebub" impression, so I'm signing off.
Finally home and prayerfully on the losers side
Oct 22, 2007
We ended up leaving the hospital around 5:30 pm. I had to make calls to Pittsburgh (my Mom), Florida (my sis), and New Bern (my mother-in-law) to let them know that I was still alive and kicking...so to speak. The wifey stopped to CVS to make sure I had my pain meds to carry me thru the night...she helped me with getting comfortable once we got home...
Actually, at the moment, I feel good overall. I feel a little restless...finding that I'm pacing a lot. Not sure if that is the anesthia trying to wear off but I'm just surprised at how little pain that I have. I've always known from my hospital and EMT experience that it is best to walk around as soon as you can to start the recovery process. Maybe this is behind the pacing. The quicker you start moving; the less risk you'll have of developing blood clots.
I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts, and other well-wishes. It was much needed and appreciated. I promise to keep everyone posted...especially those of you who will be joining me on the losers' side pretty soon.
Take care, God bless, and Good night...
This is Johnathan...signing off until next time...LOL
A change will come....
