Day 11 - hunger is gone

Day 11 was another good day. I'm feeling good and very satisfied with my weight loss. Since surgery, I've lost 17.2 pounds and 65 pounds since May 1. The most interesting aspect so far in my journey is the lack of hunger since surgery. I really don't have any hunger and have to think about eating on schedule. I've heard some people comment about the lack of hunger, but I never expected this.   This past weekend I took three guys (including my 18 year-old son) to Wilfire Weekend in Greenville, SC. It was a great Christian experience and afforded me the opportunity to walk. I felt better walking than I have in a long time and didn't find myself short of breath. Then to top it off, my son commented that on Saturday he saw me from the side and could see a real difference. Made my day!

Feeling like this is a good decision

Despite having "buyers remorse" on day one and two, I can honestly say that having the vertical sleeve done was a good choice. I had my first follow-up with Dr. Heider on Tuesday (day six). I went feeling good having lost a pound a day since surgery and not having taken my insulin since surgery and reducing my blood pressure meds to two from six. Leaving the office I felt even better losing my drain tube and being released to begin exercising. I hit the gym that evening taking it easy, but getting in a good workout.   An interesting sidelight to my appointment was getting to share with two men my experience so far as they came in for their intro appointment.
