First weigh in/post op visit

Hey all, Yesterday, Friday the 17th was my first post op. I FINALLY got my drain out, uuuugggghhhh felt really weird, but WOW do I feel like a different person since it came out. I was actually able to walk an entire time around the block and before i could only make it down the street!!!! I am now starting pureed diet, love it, I am being really creative and its nice to eat something with flavor to it. I was soooooo scared to get weighed, I did not know what to expect so I was just hoping it was down. Wow, was it down, 14lbs in 12 days I was blown away and so grateful to the Lord to see this surgery already paying off. I went out and bought new make up and realized I really want to start taking care of myself. The hardest thing is the head hunger. I honestly was not prepared for how intense it can be. It will hit me out of now where too. What I realized about myself this last week is that I was much more a compulsive eater than I realized. I had myself fooled into thinking it was more about my body not able to lose weight and in the last week I realized is that I was not able to stop eating and as stupid as this sounds this is the first time I really owned that and accepted it. I am ready to go to a support group meeting and am hoping to go to one with my friend and angel Cindy. Anyway, I am Praising the Lord for his increadible work and grace that He as always provides a way for us. He provieds increadible medicatons for those of us who need it , this surgery to save our lives, which really wasn't readily available until 10 years ago or so. I just feel blessed, gloriously blessed. My prayer is that all of you will feel/be as blessed as I feel and am blessed. Love to all Trish

I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU !!!! I knew you would do great. I can't wait untill the 31st 12 more days. Started my fast three days ago doing good with it the first day was awful but I'm surprised at how well I'm dealing with it. . I hope I do as well as you have. You are in my prayer God bless you Jessica

Congrats Trish!!!!! Way to go!!!!! Lisa
