It has been 10 days since my surgery and I'm really starting to get back in the swing of things. If you read my earlier blog, you know that I was having esophageal spasms that hurt tremendously. Well, as the swelling has gone down, the spasms have almost fully gone away. Yay! I hope that means that I won't have problems with fills, but I will definitely keep track of it.

As of today, I am down 21.1 lbs. I include my pre-op diet pounds in my total because it is all part of the process. I am a little worried that I will gain some now that I am eating solid food, but alas, that is part of the process as well.

I had TWO non-scale victories today. I am a HUGE Colts fan and my best friend is a HUGE Saints fan. She mentioned a couple weeks ago that she was planning to wear her cute little women's cut Saints jersey to work today. Well, my XXL men's Colts jersey hasn't fit for months. I tried it on last night and it doesn't look half bad! YAY! So, I can represent! That is NSV #1.

NSV #2 - I haven't worn my rings in several months. I kept telling myself it was because I was "swollen". Heh. Anyway, they are a little snug, but I'm wearing my rings (that I wore everyday for about 10 years) again today.

It is only the beginning and good things are just flying at me!!

Hope you all are having a bandtastic week!

Wow Congrats! Sounds like you have had a great week! Keep up the good work!

Great NSV's and glad that esophagus has settled down!! Congrats on the first 20...a GREAT start! -BG

That is awesome!!! Look out! But, I am kinda mad at you...the Colts??? REALLY?!? LOL j/k! Keep it up girl!

I was actually a fan back in the days they were 1-15. I'm a lifer. :thumbup:
