hannah got a reaction from Odee for a blog entry, Oh, So This Is Sleeved Life
Hey Guys and Dolls, I know I am not the most frequent blogger but I am working on it.
I am day 6 post op, and I am actually feeling much better.
My incisions are still a little puffy and bruised but the pain is managed.
When I walk my stomach is a little uncomfortable from the movement,
and when I sleep on my side it is really uncomfortable.
I am able to only take some ibuprofen during the day and be fine,
however I do take my lortab elixir at night, especially when I was particularly active.
My dog has been making the walking so much easier,
in fact today I noticed I was able to comfortably increase my speed.
I think I may be ready to hit the gym soon. Which is a good thing before I am worried about lose skin.
Everyone keeps telling me that my age is in my favor and the fact that I am on the smaller side of people who get barbaric surgery.
But, to be frank I am still worried. Mostly that I will be uglier with the lose skin then when I was overweight.
Skin is not quite like elastic, which by the way I have never understood.
But I did some counter push ups today and I have been googling some home remedies...
Nothing too promising.

hannah got a reaction from mczoo33 for a blog entry, Two Days, Twenty-Two Hours, Forty-Eight Minutes
These are my last couple of days being pre-op.
I am having a hateful day.
Maybe the jitters are finally catching up with me. Maybe I am just hungry.
I made sure I did everything I could to make sure this day came as soon as possible,
and now that it is just around the corner I am having a hard time articulating my feelings.
So, even though this is my first blog and I should be attempting to make a good impression, I think I am going to just dump it all here.
I am afraid that I failed my liquid diet.
I am big enough of a person (pun not intended) to own up to the fact that I have made a couple mistakes there.
Mostly in the first week and I have held strong
I am afraid that after my surgery relationships will be weakened.
My boyfriend of four years has wanted me to lose weight essentially the whole time.
I am worried that all our little problems will be amplified.
I am afraid, although I hate to admit it, of what people will think.
Of what all the people I haven't told will think.
Of what the people I have told are thinking.
Easy way out. Weak will. No self control.
All bad attributes to a 22 year old.
I am afraid that after surgery my confidence wont come
That I will always feel like the fat girl.
That I will always brush off compliments that are given to me.
That I will always be uncomfortable around new people.
That I will always be instantly put in the friend zone.
I think its just a bad, hungry day.
