doing better

Since my surgery nov. 4 it has been pretty hard for me. Alot of mourning for food as if I have nothing to look forward to since all I did after I got up in the morning was what I was eating for the day. Yesterday was the first day I felt like I made it over the hill alittle. I didn't want to eat as much as I did right after the surgery. I guess it is because I am learning how to do this liquid thing. I went to a MOPS (moms of preschoolers) meeting last night not knowing that they were having their anual thanksgiving dinner. Wow, that was hard. I sat there and sipped my water and everyone was eating turkey! I did have my follow up yesterday and Dr. H said I was doing great so I guess I am doing o.k. Well, keep me in your prayers as I move along. God Bless, Penni

Thanks for sharing this experience, Penni. It really helps to know what hurdles others that are post-op have to go thru. It's great that you are becoming more self aware about your new way of life. I'm still trying to invision how things will change for me when I have WLS. Reading posts like yours really help with my after WLS visuals Hopefully things will get a little bit easier every day for you. Keep up the good work! Cassandra
