3 WEEKS POST OP

Jun 01, 2010

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery.  I can't believe how well I am doing.  No nausea, no vomiting.  I haven't weighed since my first post op appointment one week after surgery, but I definitely notice a difference in how my clothes fit.  I have also noticed:
1)  That seat belts are easier to put on.
2)  I can bend over in the tub and shave my legs without getting short of breath.
3)  I can bend over in the tub and turn off the water without getting short of breath. 
4)  I have lots of energy.
5)  I have no pitting edema in my legs.

My family has been really supportive.  My husband and daughter, who are still at home ,are making changes to their diets a well.  We went out to eat Sunday at Ruby Tuesday's.  I had a BOGOF coupon.  I didn't order myself anything; just shared with my husband and daughter and we ate for $17.00. ( We would have been only $14.00, but instead of ordering water, my husband ordered strawberry lemonade).  My husband took home half his meal!!   This new way of life is really gonna help the pocketbook, too!! 

I have old friends whom I haven't spoken with in a couple of years calling me to ask about my surgery as they are preparing for surgery themselves.  I am excited to tell them about my success!! 

LIFE IS GOOD!!!
