Just did it!!!

[walk the talk 52]

Hey yall!!!

I just did my vsg yesterday and I have to say I feel really awesome. I am in very little pain if any. My throat did not hurt when I woke up. I was very gassy though. It was a great experience. I was able to ask the surgeon and the anesthesiologist all my crazy questions...like how  are you gonna prevent me from dying...lol... but it was actually amazing. The staff was amazing I had really really awful roommates but besides that everything so far in this journey is good.

I know that we all have our fears. I'm a mom and a single mom at that. I just didn't want to do anything that would cause me to not be here for my son. However I was just so glad that I woke up I was so happy! And I'm writing this to let any other person who has fears know that it is absolutely normal. Ask questions even if you think they are silly. They're in your mind and not asking them is going to make you become anxious and even more fearful. I have to say that I am now home I have been discharged from the hospital.

I am looking forward to the new me. I can't wait to meet her. I've seen glimpses of her throughout my weight loss yo-yo dieting Journey but this too is going to allow me to see you for I really can be. So let me encourage anyone who is thinking about this, for anyone who is about to do this, all will be well. The best thing that you can do is to do your research on your surgeon and once you have a good surgeon with a good reputation you're in good hands.

I totally get it. What is getting to me right now is the gas. When I first came home I was fine...but now...the gas pains and struggles are real...I just get up and walk and try to keep active...walking out this gas..but the head hunger is real too. I'm up drinking so ginger tea...and doing laps around the house. That is my only complaint...the gas.

You’ll get there! I haven’t been losing as quickly as I’d like but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. I’ve had some stalls along the way. Just taking it day by day. Are you losing hair? I am in clumps. 😪

That is awesome. I am so looking forward to that. At this moment as I said my only complaint is the gas. I have no other pain but that. I just know it's a matter of time...

Yes. It will be a process. One day at a time. The gas can really hurt. Just try to keep moving. Follow your plan and you’ll be on the losers bench. Congratulations on such a life changing decision!
