Hi all:

I feel like I want to write down some milestones that are huge to me. I had my sleeve surgery on 30/Mar/15 and the positives I am experiencing so far are:

• No knee pain when walking up/down stairs
• No lower back pain when walking or doing housework
• No shin splints on walks
• Stand taller
• Confident to tell my journey about getting to the decision of surgery and how I am doing
• Feeling the like opportunity to have Michelle Obama arms could become a reality
• I am so close to hitting Onderland - it's been several years. When I do hit that milestone you will hear me across the world as I whooop whooop! LOL

I go to my surgeon for my first post operation assessment mid-day and really looking forward to it. I feel like I am doing great, learning how, what and how often to feed my belly. I haven't experienced hunger pangs so I am sure to eat (pureed) every two hours with plenty of hydration in between. I am pretty creative in fixing lovely, nutritious meals (then pureeing of course) so I have varied and delicious meals.

Thanks for reading.

Maggie

@@Magsqoti, super, good for you! I know it seems self evident, but feeling good feels pretty d@#n good, doesn't it?

I can't wait to hit onederland too, but regardless, I just feel so much better, stronger, younger, confident-er, healthier, and even smarter, for no apparent reason really. I s'pose it has to do with confidence.

Keep it up!

(PS to my grammar conscious comrades, I know confident-er isn't a real word and shouldn't detract from my sense of smarterness)
