1 Month!

So, tomorrow will not only be my birthday, but will also be 1 month since I've gotten my surgery!! I will be weighing myself tomorrow and hoping that the totally weight I have lost for the month is 30 pounds. That would be awesome!! I also can start regular food!! YAY! No more liquid or soft diets. My stomach isn't hurting anymore and I can finally sleep on both my sides comfortably with no pain!! My Phillies Jersey that only couldn't even button can now be buttoned, my jeans that couldn't even be zipped can now zip, and I went to the movies for the first time in a loooooooong time and I was able to fit into the seat better then I did the last time I went. Little things are proving to me that I am in fact losing this weight and it really makes me motivated and happy!! =] I got to see my surgeon in another week so hopefully he can tell me I can start lifting so I can start in on my weighs and the gym. Just wanted to write a little update and say how great I'm doing. No pain [except if I walk a little too much], I have so much more energy I don't even know what to do with myself lol, and I'm just looking and feeling better. I'll probably take some pictures tonight of myself and post them later. Thank you everybody for all your support that you've given me!!

The energy gain was startling for me, too. I've been a lifelong obese/sedentary person, and within days after the surgery I felt like someone had hooked an IV drip full of caffeine into my veins. I HAD to keep walking (around the living room, around the block, around the neighborhood) just to burn off some of that extra energy!

Now, at 2 years out (almost) it's become the new normal, but I remember how amazingly full of energy I felt at first!

Congratulations on your first month out from surgery!

Congrats!! It is truly those little things that all add up and just make you feel terrific! I'm at 5 weeks post-op and melting away! I am still on liquid and purees as I'm just not able to eat anything much of substance. But, that is ok with me. I'll take the eating part super slow. So happy for you!
