I understand completely! It does get easier on the other side.

My energy level is good. Still carrying around too much extra weight, so I'm not springing around like I would like to be, but I feel strong and fueled by what I'm eating/taking in. I think I had more mental fog before the surgery from the stress of how I was feeling about myself and depression around it. I'm still fairly distracted by the surgery and new lifestyle (can't say I'm giving as much focus to my work as I should), but overall, I think the mental fog is much better! The hardest parts for me were the 2 days on Clear liquids before the surgery and the 7 days on clear liquids afterwards. Since then, everything has been pretty easy, and I haven't had any complications. Fingers crossed that continues!

Hi Michelle, I'm feeling great! I'm not having the most rapid weight loss (down 11 lbs since surgery on 1/8 and down 19 since pre op started on 12/26, but I'm OK with the slower loss. I have a total of 100 lbs to lose and I didn't expect it to come off that quickly since it's not as much as others have to lose. I'm just sticking to the plan and it will all happen! I'm pretty much physically all healed (just a few sore spots that I feel when I bend a certain way), and I'm looking forward to being able to exercise soon! Good luck for you on Wednesday and let me know how you're doing! Kat
