Putting myself first..

I'm 46yrs old, my surgery was 7/17/17 weight was 203. I'm home in recovery. Right after surgery I was exhausted.. I slept for 24 hours!! But the next day I was up and moving. Crazy as it sounds I was never so happy to be in pain. I finally did something just for me!!

On day 5 I finally reached my goal of protein and water intake!! Yes!! Happy dance!! Happy Dance!!

My biggest problem I guess is not getting enough sleep! Since the day of surgery I have been waking at 2am[emoji58] I also do not like that I have to give myself shots twice a day, I keep telling myself there is a light at the end of the tunnel..

I would love any advice on gas, swallowing air or drinking too much.. Yesterday was rough, I would not say I was in pain but I was very uncomfortable! I know there is a learning curve and me & my new stomach must build a relationship but any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Oh another thing... I have not owned a scale since my early 20's[emoji33] should I get one? Or maybe that might be too much pressure?[emoji848]

I even went to a restaurant, I found getting the take out container first was a huge help.. I also started watch Dr. V, all I can say I wow the info has been great. So for me I'm just doing my daily walking the dog and putting the gym membership on hold.. SO HAPPY WITH MY DECISION!![emoji173]️[emoji1365]
