Doing so much better :)

Thank u all for your support, prayers, calls and emails. I am doing so much better and I am grateful that I had this surgery. It is just a huge adjustment and I shouldn't have thought that I would get over it over night, lol. Have lost 30lbs now since March 24, I am thrilled with that. I have my first post op visit with Dr Shina on April 12 and I am going to tell him how I was feeling the other day and I am sure I will still have days where I feel down and out but I know I did the right thing with having surgery. Thanks to u all and God Bless, Love Angela

Angel, I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. And congrats on teh weight you have lost so far. It is amazing what this surgery does for us. I have lost 42 pounds as of April 5th...and hopefully still losing That makes 55 total for me since Jan 17th. If you start feeling down again feel free to email and vent if you want. I always have an open email for listening. Take care and keep faith! Becky

Angela, I am so glad you are feeling emotionally better. This is a tough ride but the results will be worth it. I just said to my husband what was I thinking...maybe I should have just stayed fat and not worried about it. He shook his head no and I know deep down inside that it is better this way. Besides stuffing my face with carbs and fat and sugar isn't good for me and I know it. For some reason now I can control that urge. I guess scared is the reason and the fact that my pouch is so small. Tonight we went to applebees for dinner. I ordered off their light menu. It was shrimp terrayki. The terraki was on the side and I didn't use it casue I was afraid it had sugar in it. The menu said 290 calories, 2gfat. There were 10 shrimp and I ate 3. There was rice but I didn't eat any. I was laughing saying even if I could have eaten the whole plate that would be about 1/4 or 1/5 maybe more like 1/10 of the calories and fat I would have eaten normally and I ate even less than that! Well I better let you go. Keep you chin up and enjoy the days. Kelly

I am so happy you are feeling better... You hang in there and know that alot of people feel the same as you, at times... Keep strong and know that you will feel better with time! Bonnie

Like I said in my e-mail, you are not alone! We've all been through highs and lows post-op, so it's normal. Just hang in there!! Remember to never look back and only look forward. What happens in the past, stays in the past!

Congratulations, way to go, it great that you have lost 30 lbs. I will keep you in my prayers. May God continue to Bless and Keep you in all your ways. Audrey Carter

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Angela. It is a big adjustment to the surgery, and I think a lot of us have that panicky moment where we think, "What have I done??!!" but then we realize we did what was best for us. Hang in there, and know you have a lot of people rooting for you
