New Beginnings

Mar 09, 2011

I had my sleeve done one week ago today on Wednesday, March 2, 1011. I came home on Friday, spent the weekend at my parents' house (which was a blessing as I have 3 kids, 5 dogs and 2 cats!!), and then finally to my own home Sunday evening.  I am amazed at how little pain was involved, and only a little discomfort.  The only complaint I have is being weak and tired.  I'm assuming it's from the lack of calories and normal post-op recovery.  I am so excited for my future!!  The ability to enjoy food without being a slave to it!!  I have to admit I'm having some issues right now with the liquid only diet for 2 weeks post op.  I completely understand the reasoning and have no plans to do deviate from the plan, however, I crave flavor and chewing (I am NOT hungry).  I totally take advantage of being able to "eat" sugar free jello.  I have never looked forward to cottage cheese and yogurt so much in my entire life. 

I believe I can feel the weight falling off already.  This is so exciting!!  My mom had the RNY in September 2010 and she has been invaluable in my process!!  It's awesome to watch her meet her goals and she looks great!!
