One Month Post-Op and doing GREAT!!!

Jan 08, 2010

It is so hard to believe that my life changing surgery was a little over a month ago. I am fortunate that I never really had those "Why did I do this?" thoughts and I hope they don't come. I think the longer hospital stay (routine for my surgeon) may have had a role in that. Most others on here seem to have that feeling just a few days after surgery and I was in the hospital for four days so maybe I will never have regrets.

I have really adjusted to the changes I have had to make regarding the food. The weather has been difficult to get much walking in though. I live in a very small town and there are no gyms or work out places. I don't have a treadmill at home either. I do have a Leslie Sansone walk DVD and I have done that some but I hate to have an audience when I exercise and since my daughter has been out on holiday break and here with me every waking moment, I haven't done it much more than four times since my surgery. I go back to the doctor on Monday and will get released to go back to work the following day. I am looking forward to getting back into some type of routine.

As far as my weight loss progress, I started this process in February at 271. In August i reached my insurance requirement weight of 257. My weight on surgery morning was 246. My weight today is 228. That is a 43 pound loss since February. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself!
