So it's done

Jan 17, 2013

Had my surgery 3 days ago, 1/14/13. I'm feeling AMAZEBALLS!

I have heard so many stories about rough recoveries, regrets, and setbacks...I'm almost embarassed to say how easy this has been for me so far.  I think that's owed in no small part to how much time and dedication I've put into educating myself while going through the pre-op process.  My biggest challenge right now is forcing my new tummy, who has been dubbed Bella, to accept what seems like huge volumes of fluids that I'm being asked to consume.  I'm not perfect at it yet, by a long shot, but it's getting better.

I'm already down 5 lbs!  I would never have expected recovery to be this smooth, or loss to go this quickly!

I'm not fooling myself, though...I know this is the honeymoon phase, and it won't always be so simple.  I'm doing everything I can to build up my strength for those times, but right now, I'm pretty thrilled!
