Two week check up

Hi Everyone, I went to see Dr. Sahm yesterday for my first post op check up, and she said that I am doing great. From my pre op appt on 3/24 until yesterday I have lost a total of 19.6 pounds. I am very excited about this. I have been extremely lucky, I haven't had any post op problems at all. I have experienced the dumping though. I ate too fast and man did I regret that about 5 minutes later. I am winding down on my time off, I go back to work on 5/1 and really don't want to go at all. I have enjoyed the beautiful weather and my daily walks. I am up to walking 1 1/2 miles. My neighbor had wls in 12/04 so she and I go for a daily walk. I am enjoying everything my new life has had to offer me so far. The extra energy has been the best though. I also was able to put on my favorite pair of jeans that I haven't worn in over a year, they are a size 20, they are a little tight, and they are the stretch jeans, but hey they were up and zipped an buttoned. Have a great weekend! Deanna

GREAT JOB Deanna..that is wonderful news. I am 6 weeks out and still am not walking like I should. I go back to work tomorrow and I to don't look forward to it at all. I have enjoyed my time off and love the freedom of not working. Who knows I may decide to retire after 10 years with the State. Well good luck with your new life. You are doing a wonderful job! Kathy
