One month post-op!

May 29, 2009

Wow! I can hardly believe its already been a month! I have lost a total of 29 pounds since the surgery date and I am starting to regain some energy. So far this has been an amazing ride! I have not felt any nausea or gotten sick and for the most part  have felt pretty good (except for some pretty bad shoulder pain, which has now gone away on its own.)
I am off all diabetes meds and no longer use the C-PAP machine to sleep. Amazing!
Don't misunderstand me,  it is not easy! It is hard work! Getting in the prescribed amount of liquids and protein can be downright impossible some days but it is getting easier. My biggest fear now is transitioning to solid food as I don't cook and don't have a clue what I will eat...oh well, I have two weeks to figure it out.
This is the best thing I could have ever done for myself! The future is bright and full of possibilities!
My deepest, most sincere thanks to all the wonderful friends that have helped me through this but mostly I thank and praise God. He has held my hand every step of the way and I know will continue to do so.
Life is good!! Ha!!
