1 month out

Oct 04, 2007

Well, I'm one month out from surgery today. I feel good. I get frustrated that I can't get the scale to move very quickly. October 15th I get my first fill. I'm down 24lbs., by my scale anyways. I know, when was the last time I lost that much in a month, that would be never, but damn, I have so much to loose, wish it was more. On the good side of things I'm walking 2 to 4 miles per day 5-6 times a week and I cannot remember the last time I was able to do that!! Also, we went to see a movie and my big rear fit in the movie theater seat lots more comfortably!! I eat less and eat better, so those are good things too. And, with the band, I have something I havent had in a LONG LONG time. HOPE. Hope that I can beat obesity and get in shape and feel better about myself. Yipp, still glad I got banded. I got a bite of Chinese food stuck and boy did that hurt. Im learning to eat slower and chew better. I still dont feel full, but I am learning to stop eating anyway. The journey is exciting and frustrating at the same time!!

I had surgery 3 weeks ago today. I lost 22 lbs. before and after surgery being on pure liquids. Now, 3 weeks later I'm walking 2 miles a day and eating better than I ever had.

Well, I'm home and so glad to be here. I had to stay overnight because of nausea. Wow, I can take pain over nausea anyday!!! I was okay as long as I didnt get out of bed. The nurses were on it though and pretty soon it was over. When I first woke up I felt great and couldnt believe I had had surgery! Then they came to take me for my swallow xray and it hit me hard!! I dry-heaved about 4 times went through the test and felt crappy for a few hours after that. Of course the first thing I thought of was did I hurt my band. They assured me I was fine.

My husband stayed with me the whole time and was so good to me and took great care of me. We walked the halls and he was kind enough to make sure I didnt flash anyone and my robe was always on hehe!! He said the most amazing thing. It was 5am and I woke up and he was sitting in the window of my room and said the sun was rising on the first day of my new life!! It blew me away!! So sweet!!
 

Well, its back to the couch for me! I dont stay up too long yet, but I feel better every day!!
