  • Successful Surgery 12/8/09 Healing has begun

    I am slowly recovering, today I’m feeling almost human for the first time. I’m so grateful for this! Had my 2nd post-op follow up on Monday. I had such a bad week prior to the appointment, that the news awaiting me as I did my pre-visit weighin caught me so off guard, I broke into tears(Which I do at the drop of a hat,darn it; thanks to my instant menopause)and I had to ask the nurse to repeat my weight. I am down 46 pounds I cannot EVEN remember the last time I weighed this much.

    Gotta tell ya, This is NOT how I envisioned losing the weight. 46 pounds since this whole adventure began. 55 pounds altogether. I am astounded and thrilled. I have no appetite, which is normal after a surgery such as mine. I eat little bits, and hope, once I am feeling better, I can keep it up.

    Anywho, I am making progress, slow but sure. I hope I have more decent days like today, I am so ready to feel good…or at least better.

    *hugs*
