5 days post op and its getting better

my body is feeling really good. i was able to go to the park with my family today and swing on the swings with my kids. they enjoyed a picnic while i drank muscle milk and had about 3 pieces of honey dew melon (really well chewed). i felt pretty good after eating it. i think i feel so much better because i started taking vitamins yesterday along with b12.

i have lost 9.5 pounds in 5 days already! i know we arent supposed to weigh ourselves but once a week but i knew i lost weight already because i was able to fit into a size 16 jeans! i just wanted to see how much. i cant wait until my check up with my nutritionist. i bet she will just be blown away. family and friends are seeing the weight loss finally. my mother in law, who never makes comments about my weight other than to tell me that im gaining weight. she doesnt like me being fat, she thinks that her son deserves a skinny wife....but thats another story. she even told my husband that she could tell that i lost some weight. (she would never tell me, but at least she said something to him) she doesnt know about the surgery because i know what she would say. anyhow......the point i was trying to make is that i feel so much better today then yesterday, and im sure i will feel better tomarrow and so on and so forth.

i love this sleeve!!!!
