SV and first tme sick since sleeve
Tomorrow is 3 months since I started my 2 week pre op diet. I have lost 60 pounds so far. I am so happy with this decision and the progress so far. I can't wait to see this weight to continue to disappear! Twenty pounds and I will leave the 300s behind forever. I can hardly wait!
Today I am sick for the first time since getting my sleeve. I have a nasty sore throat and headache. In the past I would have loved to sip a cold Coke when having a sore throat. No can do. This too shall pass. I secretly (not so secret now, huh?) hope that being sick for a few days will mean I care even less about food and it will give me a little boost in the pounds lost this week. I've discovered over the last week that I feel even better and have more energy for doing activities. I spent the entire day in the yard yesterday doing chores, gardening, etc...Haven't done that in the last several years. This sleeve is such a gift. The more activities I am doing and busy, the less I think about food and snacks (my plan allows for snacks), so more energy and activity is win/win!
Now off to drag my sick body to bed.
Congrats on your progress so far! I hope your sore throat passes swiftly.
