3 weeks post-up update

Well I just passed three weeks and I can not believe how good I feel. Actually it is a little scary that I feel so good and haven't had any complications thus far (Knock on Wood). It is amazing just how quickly you get full after eating such a small amount. Dr Schweitzer's nurse Pat says I can start swimming in another week and that will be terrific. I absolutely love to swim and that is definitely my exercise of choice. I am thinking about joining a gym though and maybe getting a personal trainer. Thank you guys for all of your thoughts and prayers during surgery and your great advice since then. You are all great. I just love this board. hugs to all, Carol

Hi Carol - Time certainly flies!! I'm so glad to hear that everything is going so well for you! It's nice to feel "full," isn't it? Actually, as long as I do what I'm supposed to as far as getting in my protein and water, I'm NEVER hungry. A lot of times, hunger can be confused for thirst, so make sure you get in all your liquids. That'll get easier, too, as you get further out. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on your progress. Take care, Tia

Hi Carol glad you are doing good and feeling great. You should put up some pics on your page so we can see less of you...lol.

Carol, You are on your way!!! Best wishes for a continued speedy recovery. Hugs, Mo
