ONE MONTH AND LOVING IT

Jul 06, 2009

Well it's been a month since my surgery.  I saw my NP last week and everything seems to be great with my stomach, my scars are looking good and my weight is on track....  HOWEVER my first venture into public I seemed to have caught something and was feeling aweful when I went to see the NP.  I had a slight fever and a bad cough, well happy to say the fever is gone but the cough, well I'm still working on that.  I'm on a liquid antibodic and children's tylenol yuck that stuff is just too sweet...this has been a set back cause now I'm tired again and don't want to get out of bed and it's hard to get in all my liquids...again...I had just started almost meeting my goal until this happened...anyway I can't let this distract me from my goal..oh did I mention I can't do my exercises like I want due to being sick.... THIS TOO SHALL PASS....I just hope soon.

My plan is to take photos monthly to see my progress, I haven't taken any this month yet because I just don't feel good.  But hopefully this weekend I'll feel better.  I am planning to return to work this month and I really really really want to be feeling better before I go back.  

Other than getting sick I would not have changed this for nothing.  It's hard to explain I had no control over my eating before I had surgery.  I could lose weight but then I would gain it back and more..for the first time I feel like I'm in control.  I look at food now and not crave it.  I can sit while others enjoy their food and enjoy their company, it's a funny thing.  I know this was the best decision I could have ever made and soon I'll look back and say it would have been perferct if not for that dang flu.
