1 month post op

Hi everyone,  Just an update on sunday the 13th will be my 1 month since surgery and I am down almost 31lbs.  Holy **** I know huh.  I didn't think it was possible.  I have fricken cheek bones my face is thinning out I am so excited I could just cry!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to everyone who has answered my questions or comments you guys are the best.......I was really sad I had the surgery at first but I am so damn glad I had it now I think it was because it was right before christmas and watching everyone and stuff.  I am on pureed stuff and can eat reg food I don't feel like such an outcast.  I go on monday to learn about soft foods YIPPEEE!!!!!  I cannot wait.    I have no more pain anywhere and am getting back to normal.  Although mykids don't know that I don't hurt cuz then they actually help out with house chores LOL I should tell them soon NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  anyway I will end this.  Thanks again everyone for your support!!!!! Hugs Marsha  

I'm glad you're doing so well, each month gets better! Keep up the good work!

Marsha......I am glad things are better for you now. You had a rough start. This surgery is soooooooo worth it!!! I will be watching for new pics along the way. Hugs, connie d

WOW!!!  31 lbs!!  That rocks!!  I am so happy for you. I agree, dont tell the kids your ok, milk it for all you can! LOL!!

Marsha - you're doing so good!  31 pounds is FANTASTIC!  You'll have to take a new pic for your avatar soon so we can all see the difference!  And I wouldn't tell your kids anything about no pain - there's no reason that you should be over exerting yourself - it takes AT LEAST a year to recover from major surgery !  Milk it for all its worth!!! love ya, Tracy

Milk it LOL Tracy you crack me up!!! Marsha WTG keep up the amazing job!!

You are just rockin girl!  31 pounds fabulous!!!!  I know we picked a bad time to have surgery with the holidays but you know we survived that and it made us just that much stronger.  I agree WLS rocks!!!  Let me know what I have to look forward to with the soft foods.  I have about whirred everything possible in my bullet and am waiting to chew something other than ice.  LOL  Keep it up and we won't tell the kids!!! Bonnie

Thanks for sharing that Marsha!  I get so excited hearing how newbies are doing!!  It reminds me of my "early days".  It just keeps getting better as the weight comes off and the energy increases!! 

Look out girlfriend, but the journey is an exciting one!!!

Best wishes!

You are doing just great!  I felt like a food outcast for about 10 minutes - don't let others make you feel "different."  You are better! I'm so glad you are pain free.  You new life awaits!

I am so glad to hear you are doing so well... Until I was able to start eating "real" food, I felt like an outsider and all alone.  So I understand that.  You are doing fantastic!!! Debi
