Well, here I am almost a week post-op and FINALLY starting to feel a little more human lol. I do feel much better actually. The gas is almost gone and my stomach isn't making me look like a pregnant alien. I'm still getting some episodes where I feel like I want to burp :blink: but it just won't come but that too will pass I'm sure.

 

Went to the beach yesterday with the family and it was great to be able to hang out and watch my nephew play at his first beach outing. I didn't have as much energy as I thought I would but I was able to walk around the beach and even went swimming! It was a little uncomfortable between my sister and I when it came to lunch time. She is not on board with this surgery and hasn't been so we don't mention it at all. Basically they ate their sandwiches and chips and I had a protein drink. I refuse to apologize for doing something that will make me healthier and happier. Everyone decided after the beach they wanted to go out to eat so of course I bowed out for that and felt a little bummed out especially when my 2 yr old nephew asked why auntie.. :( In any case, I know one I'm on solid foods I'll be able to join them and will just eat less and only eat certain things.

 

I can't wait to get back to the gym, I really miss it. Also trying to resist the urge to hop on the scale since I know my body is still healing and the numbers might not be what I want to see.

 

Guess thats all for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

I have not had my surgery yet but I totally understand where you are coming from. There will always be people who don't agree with your decisions although you know in your heart that it is the best for you. Be true to yourself and you'll never go wrong :). Shortly you will be able to go out to eat with them and your new way of living will just become "the norm". You'll do great!

I agree with all of you, until someone has walked in your shoes... I have told only select people in my life that I had the surgery.

Congratulations LeeLee on your recent surgery, and glad you're feeling better.

I am almost two months in and feel great. I have not last as much as I had hoped by this time, but but am back in water aerobics, and water walking and I know my clothes fit much differently. I am told that I look like I have lost a "ton" of weight even though I have lost only about 15. I think it has to do with the exercise - which is building muscle. SO, as long as the scaled keep from going up, I am happy.

Keep up the good work, LeeLee ;-)
