Had my 1 week post op appt today. Down 14 pounds since surgery and. 29 overall! Whoop whoop

Gulping down a lot of Water whenever I feel like it

The only thing I slightly grieved, very early in the process, was giving up binge eating. Knowing I'd never have the crutch of eating my way into a food coma like I did before. Of course that was the entire purpose of the surgery, but it is still a loss and awareness that the old habit must die.
Other than that few moments of sadness? I miss nothing.
Oh, except knee pain, back pain, sleep apnea, sky high blood pressure, foot pain, sweating whenever I exerted myself, not fitting in the bathtub, embarrassment wherever I went, seatbelt extenders on air planes, eating in secret, several daily prescription meds, etc. I miss those SO much. NOT!

I just got approved yesterday! My surgery date is set for July 16th, but I'm also on the waiting list for July 10th. My surgeon only does 3 surgeries a day and only on Wednesday and Thursdays. Either way, its exciting and REAL and this is happening. I'm soo ready for it.
