So, here I am...19 days post-op. I'm feeling good, considering that I've stopped taking my anti-depressants and given up caffeine since surgery. I'm down 12 pounds and keeping a positive outlook. It's really bothered me because a rumor started around my school (cosmetology school, nonetheless) that I'd had gastric bypass. I've just shrugged it off for the most part, but I'm gonna admit that hearing that bothered me. I feel that more severe obesity cases opt for gastric bypass and I feel slightly
I'm staying really positive about my journey. I've lost 9 pounds so far and that's amazing considering that it seemed like I was putting that much on per month before. I keep thinking of my reasons for doing this. My motivation. My future, my dad, Sara, Nanny. Those are what I look to when I'm feeling crappy about not being able to eat much and go out and do anything. I know I'm only 5 days out, but you have to start this thing thinking positively, so it'll carry you on further than skepticism.
