Doing better

This is week three post surgery and everything is going well. I've lost about a pound and a half a week since surgery, which is fine by me.

 

I think that most of my friends expected there to be a more radical weightloss. :thumbup: Like they were going to wheel me out looking like Barbie.

 

I've dumped about half of my closet, going from a size 22 to 18 in a matter of weeks really surprised me.

 

I want to be honest. The first week absolutely sucked. I had so much shoulder pain, and throwing up from the anesthesia it was rediculous. I hate to complain, but a little heads up on the doctors part might have made me feel like I wasn't being set up.:thumbup:

 

I was also surprised that after having my insurance to spend $16,000 on the surgery that there was little to no follow up from such a major medical group. Don't get me wrong, they are nice and all. But seriously, they could have called at least once:confused:. My friend says they just take your money and run.

 

Ok enough. I have my first post meeting tonight , entitled "Why we get stuck". lol
