My Path To The Real Me

I had the laparoscopic sleeve surgery a week ago today. I started at 233lbs and am now 221lbs.

I wasn't totally prepared for the post op pain so I had a few dark moments where I regretting having the surgery at all. Walking really does help and now I can lay on my side again with minimum discomfort. Going back to work tomorrow and kind of nervous about being up for a whole 8 hrs but excited to finally get out of this house.

Thrilled to see who I become out of this whole process...ready to meet the me I always wanted to be

This is common...but glad you are doing better, after all, you just has SURGERY ...

I went back to work for 1/2 days in the beginning...that really helped me... plus I hate my job, so I was in no hurry.

Good luck to you!

Onto week 2. Hit a wall weight wise. Only lost 3 this week compared to 11 I lost the first. Back pain, mood swings, head hunger...all starting to get to me. Looking forward to my cream of wheat and mashed potatoes tomorrow! I guess these just keepin on and pushing through it

Week 3: mistake of the week...trying to eat real food. Not a good idea. Also think I'm getting dehydrated but just can't drink enough. Weight loss still at epic stand still. Probably should be excersising more but can't find the time. I know excuses excuses. Will work on all this for next week

Omg I cannot believe it's been a whole month since I had my surgery!!! I'm down 21 lbs and able to eat some real foods like eggs, sweet potatoes, ect...even tried some salmon today. Still having pain in my stomach and I think one of my incisions maybe becoming infected. Still very frustrated but learning to not care as much. It's worth it to be down a pant size!
