4 month update

Well, first of all, I can't believe it's been 4 months already. I'm really loving my sleeve. I'm down -41 lbs. since pre-op diet. Went from size 16 to very loose size 12 pants. Have already cleaned out my closet once, but soon I'll have to get rid of the 12's too. So happy about that. Also, went from XL shirts to M.   Lessons learned ... I don't have a great metabolism. I have to exercise (and do so about 3 times a week) and watch my carbs to lose weight, and even then it's pretty slow

Day 7 Post Op

I'm feeling pretty good. My shoulder started causing a little discomfort last night (gas pain) after driving for a bit. I guess I just need to take it a little easier. I'm actually feeling better now. I'm now on full liquids.   I'm trying to get back on my liquid vitamins - so I'm slowly sipping the 2 oz. portion. I don't want to get reflux. Hate that. Actually, I haven't had any acidity issues. I wonder what will happen once I run out of my antacid meds (taking only 1 a day, instead o

4 Days Post-Op

My surgery went well. I had some nausea on Day 1 and 2. Mostly, a sour taste in my mouth and spitting up saliva (less than 5 times total). No vomiting, thank goodness. I think it was my body trying to get rid of the anesthesia. By Day 2 night I was feeling pretty ok. No real pain, except for some gas pressure on Day 1 and 2. I would classify that more like discomfort more than pain though. I had no problem walking since Day 1. Day 3 - I was only able to get in about 16 ounces of liquid

Some physical goals I want to accomplish...

I know how I look in the mirror will eventually match with how I feel inside. I know I can do this.   There are also some physical goals I want to accomplish. I've lost some muscle in my right calf, have slight drop foot, and have limited movement in my ankle, so I do have some limitations.   But...   1) I want to play with my kids outside without getting tired after 10 minutes. 2) I want to be able to walk for 30 minutes straight without having to rest. 3) I want to be able to touch m

My why...

I don't have many pictures of me (not even face shots). I was looking to for one to post and I don't have any. I also haven't hung up any of my weddings photos -- you know the event that I paid a gazillion dollars for and hired a professional photographer. We don't even have any family photographs. My memories are filled with photos of the kids - none of me.   I've noted that I really am happy with who I am until I look in the mirror; then, I don't recognize the person staring back at me. Apar
