3 weeks post op
May 11, 2009
Wow I can't believe it has been 3 weeks. I am not going to say that it has been easy but each day gets better. I went for a walk on Saturday with my friends Deb and Cindy. I am so glad they told me about the walk. I managed to walk 3 miles. It felt good to get out and start living again. On Mother's day yesterday I was trying to find some jeans that wouldn't fall down after taking 2 steps. And I had a pair of size 24 jeans but didn't think there was any way I was going to get into them. But to my surprise they fit. I was speechless. I went outside to find my husband who was working on the trailer in the backyard. He thought something was wrong but I just said "remember those jeans I said would take a few months to get into?" and he nodded. I then said "well I guess it won't really be a few months because I am wearing them." When I started my journey back in Dec until now I have lost 68 pounds and 25 of those just since surgery. This has got to be the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family.
