The best thing is...
The best thing about this surgery is that I don't feel 'hungry'. My mind is not always thinking about where food is going to come from or what I can eat next. I am so eternally greatful for this surgery I cannot even express my feelings with words. The freedom is amazing! The fact that I forget to eat is unbelieveable! The fact that I have cooked my family supper every night since I got home and have not once felt the urge to jump into it and eat like a pig is great! The fact that I drank 1/2 c of soup yesterday and felt too full surprises and delights me. I am so glad that I chose the sleeve. My only 'complication' has been getting to know my body and when it is hungry. The first few days I had such bowel cramps. I learned that that means eat something silly! LOL! This morning when I got up I weighed myself. 289.7! I haven't been that since before the twins were born!
Thank you Dr. Birch! You are my hero!
