8 days out

Todau I'm 8 days out! I know this a long journey and its not always going to be easy, but I love the way this has started! I feel fantastic. I spent the night in the hospital after surgery and it was pretty anticlimactic. Walk and sip, walk and sip! I was sent home with pain meds and I was happy I didn't need to use them. After getting home once again walk, sip plus get my protein in. All of this has been relatively easy.  I've heard others speak of head hunger. I don't think I have expericed this as I've had no head problems. I've made dinner for me family and baked and I didn't find it difficult to be around food.

This morning I left the house to tailgate and attend a football game and his home at 8:00pm! It went super smooth (besides being 34 degrees and cold) I got in all my water, protein! I'm not going to lie, I did miss all the yummy tailgate food we usually have but it didn't consume me! 

Im amazed how much energy I still have tonight! 

I know this is a long journey and things won't always be easy, but I'm so happy that it has began his way!

I love my sleeve!

That is awesome. Glad you are doing so well and working your sleeve.

I hope they keep going well, it's like I keep on waiting for something bad to happen!! I hope or doesn't happen!

I hear ya, but don't look for trouble. Enjoy the positive and keep on rolling :)

Glad things are going so well!

So glad to hear all is well :) You must be one of the lucky ones who doesn't have head hunger! It's a real pain. 8 days out I was still pretty miserable and in pain. Great job!!

It's like I'm waiting for head hunger pain almost. I'm hoping it doesn't come!

Congratulations! It's terrific you are doing so well only 8 days out. Very inspiring story. Thanks for posting. My surgery is in 16 days and I'm getting the jitters. It helps to read good stories like yours. I wish you continued success!

Hi Bonnie! How exciting 16 days!! I read and posted a lot oh here to prepare myself for surgery. It really helped. Walking as soon and as much after surgery was the best advice I got and I feel like that is what helped me to get to how I feel today.

That's such great news, and it's only 8 days out! Its just going to get better from here. Keep up the great job!
