Well I am couple of days from being 4 weeks post op. I am suppose to have my checkup tomorrow, however I have rescheduled so I could take a trip back home to see my family and go to my grandmothers 80th birthday celebration and family reunion. It will be nice to be back home at a time my ENTIRE family will be there.
So, I am feeling really good. No more pains or vomiting. I am pretty much back to eating "normal" again. Its different now...1. I have to eat small bites and chew chew chew, and 2. I get full VERY quickly. The weight is starting to come off now, and people (including myself), are starting to notice the difference. Here is a pic of me on fathers day. I always count the two weeks prior to my surgery since I was on a special diet that caused me to lose some weight prior to my surgery. So total to date is right under 30 pounds. I want to lose between 40 and 50 more pounds. So I am close to losing half of the total weight that I wanted to lose.
Other than I have to eat differently, I am pretty much back to normal. I am feeling great and doing most of the things that I was doing prior to my surgery. I am on a pretty regular schedule of walking in the evenings. I went bowling yesterday, that was fun. I just had to use a smaller ball since I am still not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds. I have two more weeks before that restriction is lifted. Also, I can't do sit ups yet...bummer! lol
So thats it for now. Feeling good and still not regretting my decision.
