Surgery April 6th 2015

My name is Kelly, starting weight 225 lbs. i am 5'5 and turning 50 years old this year. I was so nervous for the surgery. Scared to death actually. When I arrived in my hospital room after recovery I was just thankful to be alive. It was silly really because my surgeon said it was a text book case and everything went really well. I had no pain at first. In fact the sutures were not my problem. It was the gas left over from the surgery that was the most painful. But after about 5 days and stopping the meds, a couple glasses of Metamucil and that went away also. What a relief. try to stop pain meds asap. so constipating...! I am very excited for my journey. tomorrow will be exactly 3 weeks since my surgery. I have lost 20 pounds. However I am having a problem with head hunger. I also still have no willpower. I have tasted my husbands salmon, chinese food and have eaten food before allowed. the guilt is killing me and I know i would of lost more weight by now if I wasnt such a cheater. Why cant I control myself. No.. I cannot eat alot. and I only took a bite. but i have been told over and over again. the first six months is the most important. DO NOT CHEAT DO NOT CHEAT. FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES FOLLOW YOUR STAGES.

Hospital

My hospital stay was good. I didnt have to decide anything everything was taken care of. i was taken care of. Like a mini vacation for me. my favorite part was the sugar free popsicles. so good not hungry just dry mouth.
