It's been just over 4 weeks for me and I am finally feeling fantastic!  I have lost 34 pounds since I started this journey.  I am no longer in pain and I am fitting into clothes I haven't worn in years.  I am still on a pureed diet but my body is tolerating it so well that I expect to be released to real foods soon.  I see Dr. Weiss on Friday.

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since my surgery and I am finally starting to feel better.  I had no complications or anything, it just took longer for me to recover than I expected.  Of course, that may have been because I had to keep feeding my 7 dogs and doing other things for myself around the house.  But anyway, I have lost 15 pounds since surgery and am very excited!  I am tolerating pureed and very soft foods well and excited that I can do more exercise now.  I am very pleased I had this surgery and look forward to continued success on my journey.

Well, I saw my surgeon yesterday and had my staples removed.  I was thrilled to get a good report on my progress.  I am happy he is letting me go back to work part-time on Monday.  He also was happy with my weight loss and with how I am handling my diet.  The visit made me feel like a pure success!!

My surgeon is so wonderful that I am actually sad I will not have to see him much anymore.  He is the kindest most compassionate physician I have ever met.  I feel very lucky to have had him and to be on this road to better health.

Hello Everyone!

Here I am 8 days post surgery and I think I am finally starting to feel better.  I am no longer sleeping during the day and I am able to do small things I hadn't been able to a few days ago.  I will spare you the details.  I am very excited to be on the road to feeling better and anxious to get back to work and to start exercising.  (If the weather was nice today I would go for a walk.)

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to all my new friends.  I hope you all are well and you have a nice day!
