One week ago today
A week ago at this time I was in surgery. I posted a post the night before about being at peace with my decision, not sure what I would be feeling a week later. Well, here it is a week later and, I am sore, though not as sore as I was a few days ago, I miss food; I am not hungry but it has been 3 weeks since I really ate anything and I truly just miss it, I miss sleeping in bed with my husband, and I am struggling figuring out what my pouch is trying to tell me when. Yet, I am still at peace with this surgery. The unfounded fears I had about the surgery of course did not come true. I think as a whole I have done well. I came home on Wed after surgery on Mon. I am not drinking enough protein, but am getting plenty of fluids in. I am able to move around pretty well, and am taking a short run to the grocery store with my daughter this morning. The gas has subsided quite a bit. And, I was able to shave my legs and blow dry my hair this morning, though I felt a little tired after. So, I do not know what happens from here. I only know I keep doing what I have been instructed, and pray that it all pays off. So, yes, I am still peaceful, and, I will add to that, hopeful, that this truly will change my life for good. I know it will not change my cir****tances, or make all my problems go away, but so much will change because of it. I do want to keep my eyes open, though, as reality states that not all the changes could be good. But many will, and for those, I am hopeful.
50 lbs lost pre-op-the rest is post op.
The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real. CheryL

I'm impressed! I don't think I shaved my legs for a several weeks.
For me, the preop diet was harder than immediately postop. Take it easy. Get your fluids in. Try to get protein in. Altho, I didn't feel real normal until about 3 months out.
Sip, sip, sip. Walk, walk, walk.

I can tell you "what happens from here" from my perspective - one miracle after another - easier mobility, better clothes, etc. etc. - - I'm at the point where I don't even think people are staring at me.
