Life Goes On...

Nov 05, 2009

I'm so pleased I did it!  I'm five weeks out, and feeling just fine.  I haven't had any complications or even issues with the pouch.  I eat what I'm supposed to eat, and I'm not hungry.  I never thought 1/2 cup of food would satisfy me, but it does.  The weight is beginning to come off - 38 pounds already.   Soon my clothes will be too baggy - yippee!

I haven't had any issues with getting in water or protein, so I feel very lucky that way.  At my post-op meeting last week (they had me at 31 pounds down, fully dressed), I learned how to inject my B-12 shot each month and was told to start the calcium, which I've been doing since.  I sound boring, but that's what I want - this to just fit in with my life!  And it is.  Another week and I'll be introducing "regular" food and not just eating soft foods.  Wow!
