A Little Update 2 weeks out.

Nov 27, 2009

It has only been 2 weeks and the difference in my health is amazing! I went to my check up a few days ago and I am no longer on my diabetes medication! How awesome is that!? This surgery is a BEAUTIFUL thing! The surgeon made the decision to take me off of them when I went home from the hospital just as a trial run to see how my body would adjust without them, and once I went to see the endo Dr. he told me that I didn't have to take them and if I kept going on the track that I am going on I will not have to take my blood pressure meds anymore either! I almost cried.  Not to mention I am now down 27lbs!!!

Though sitting back and watching everyone grub this past Thanksgiving was a little rough, I managed to get through it!! I had an emotional setback when I tried to eat my pureed salmon and it gave me indigestion and I felt like I wouldn't be able to eat anything. Then I had to realize that darn ... you ARE just 2 WEEKS out give your stomach a break and give it time...My sister and mother were right Rome wasn't built in a day and things have to heal before I beat it up for not being able to eat something. I am beginning to get a handle on the eating and drinking however water is still something I am trying to sqeeze in. If anyone has any tips or suggestions they are greatly appreciated! Have a wonderful weekend!
