1 Month Post Op!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well

It's been a while since my last post.

I was officially one month post op yesterday! The first two and a half weeks after surgery were very tough for me. I had gone through some type of withdrawal from all the habits and foods I once felt so close to. I felt depressed, in pain, and just overall weak. I felt like I had made a mistake in having this surgery. However, I had to keep reminding myself that things will get better. That this is the best decision I ever made even though it might not feel like it right now. For a week I had a pain in my stomach area that felt like it'd never go away, but with time, it did. I went to universal after two weeks post op and the walking was too much. I got dehydrated quickly and hardly kept up on fluids. I had painful constipation one day (sorry tmi) but with some laxatives, that went away. When I started to eat more solid foods, I started to feel better. It was easier. Now I'm on regular diet, reintroducing foods one by one.

I feel so great! My energy is up, my clothes are loose and I'm just so much happier. I went to the doctor 12 days after the operation and I had lost 32 pounds in those 12 days. Incredible right?! I can only imagine what I've lost up till now! I can't wait for my next weigh in. My advice to all newbies would be to keep as much of a positive attitude as you can! And all the hard times are going to be worth the way you feel afterwards!

My diet is finally something that's not so boring like liquids -.- Today for lunch I had some chicken from Pei Wei! And last night I had some ceviche for dinner. Only tiny bits though! Since I can hardly fit anything in my pouch lol

Ill try to keep my page updated! Good luck everyone! Much love
