  1. I am so happy to be four weeks post-op. I already feel like a different person on the inside and outside. My friends are noticing changes in my personality and tell me that I have been doing nothing but smiling for 2 weeks now. I have had no REAL complaints as far as pain (although, im glad the first 1-2 weeks are over.) I remember, I was about 5 or 6 days post op and I am laying on the couch feeling uncomfortable, and I was just SOOOO hungary. I dont know why but I used to have this obsesive compulsive habit to open the fridge even though I knew I couldnt eat anything, maybe it was because I could just go in the fridge and it anything I could before without reseravation! Anyway, I looked in the freezer and I picked out a sugar free popsicle-and it didnt help, just made me more hungary, and I remember just bursting into tears " What have I done, was this the right decision"?? My mom just was beside herself, and didnt know what to say! But 3 weeks later, like I said earlier, im just HAPPY!! I cant wait to work out again and to go back to eating normal food, but healthy food. I savor my meals now, I take my time-eat small bites and just ENJOY!! Anyways, I am so happy for everyone that has made it this far. CHEERS and best of luck!!:clap2:
