Hi

[dmk6969 5]

Well it's Day 4 and I am in lots of pain. The 4 hour drive home yesterday was no picnic and I am sure that is one of the reasons I am so sore today. I have been trying to get all my Fluid and Protein in without making myself sick but it is no easy task. And I have to sleep in my recliner because we figured out too late that my bed sits up too high for me to get into right now lol. Have to go take meds now but will post again soon. Keep good thoughts for me please y'all.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I went thru a bad bout of depression for about 2 weeks. But I am over it now and since I started in the middle of June when I was at my heaviest ever I have now lost a total of 68 lbs. I have lost 26 lbs since the surgery 3 weeks ago.

I hated it and cussed myself for doing it several times during the first 2 weeks. Threw up quite a bit from eating too fast. I am doing a little better on that now. I went and bought a little kitchen timer LoL. But I have come thru ok. Will post more later. Thanks for all the replies y'all.

That is why I am doing it. I have a 16 year old daughter and she always wants me to go do things with her and I can't walk to go do them. When the dietian did our class she told us to set goals for 1 month' date=' 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. After talking it over with my girl, I set my goals as, 1 month- lose enough (about 35 lbs) to be able to get on our treadmill again, 3 months- go dancing with her on New Years Eve, 6 months- take her to the amusement park without a wheelchair and actually get to ride the rides, and 1 year- go back to Hawaii without a wheelchair and hike up DiamondHead with her. The last one may be a little too optimistic but both she and I would settle for the first part of it. LoL And I would love to be able to snorkel or scuba dive there. None of these things have I been able to do in years. So I am staying positive and keeping the faith that this will be the life changing experience I am praying for.
