FINALLY.......

I'm fine, I'm fine.......

I've had several people message me to ask me if I am ok since I haven't posted much in the past few days.  Really wasn't much to post.  I finally lost that ONE pound I wanted to lose in order to have a total of 25 pounds lost.  That is 25 pounds in 23 days post op.  I am still disappointed but hoping as week 3 goes AWAY that the weight will begin to come off.

I have been so lucky having people I actually know to consult about the process.  Even though most of us all had a different WLS, we all were pretty much on the same postop diet and restrictions.  So, they have been a fabulous support.  I still consult with the people in my Belite Weight Loss group too.  HIGHLY recommend if you are considering surgery that you start creating your souces of formal and informal supports NOW. 

I have been whining about Week 3 from the very beginning of it.  I have felt so yucky and the food hasn't been feeling so fabulous at times. I feel so full and bloated.  I have had pretty bad nausea the past few days.  It is uuugghhhhhh and all day long.  I can smell everything and nothing smells good.  Meat has made me physically sick.  My back hurts too so I am thinking it is just that "time" of the month soon and this will pass.  I have read that times like this just come and go throughout the healing process.  I have to remind myself constantly that I just had a major invasive surgery that removed 80% of my stomach.....24 days ago.  Crazy.

This too shall pass.  All part of the healing process and could be worse.  I am still sooooo soooo glad I did this.  I think when I can do real workouts, I will feel and see the progress!
