18 days post Op

[bb8487 2]

I am 18 days post op. Surgery was on Monday, April 14. I lost 10 during two week liquid diet. Had surgery, was in hospital two days. Went home, rested some for a couple days. Was back to work the following Monday. I have done great. I feel fabulous. The time in the hospital was restful and I walked a lot. I was very independent and never let anyone help me do anything. I moved myself from the surgical gurney to my hospital bed when they took me to a room from recovery. I truly believe this will to do it myself and to get moving has had everything to do with my fast recovery.

My stamina is not fully up to par yet...but I am doing super. I have lost 21 lbs since surgery (per my 16 day follow up with my surgeon). I have not yet thrown up, but have become nauseous several times. It happens if I haven't measured my food carefully. Just one bite too many can make me feel sick for the next 20 minutes following it.

I am so pleased with my decision and my results so far. I never thought I COULD lose 31 lbs!! So excited for the new life ahead, healthier and happier.
