2 week post-op check up. Praising God!
Wait for it.... God has allowed me to lose 23.7 (doctors scales... ticker says differently) pounds this past month. Unbelievable. I feel great and I am ready to start exercising and have been cleared for it as well. Surgeon says everything is going perfectly. I was cleared to start pureed foods today, for the next four weeks. So excited to have something other than liquids. My energy level is fabulous and other than some tummy discomfort when drinking water (surgeon says that does go away) and a bit of soreness from the incisions, I feel better than I have in years. Praise God! Thank you all for your prayers and support! It definitely has been a process getting here and will continue to be one over the next months and years.... then again, isn't life a process. I am thankful that I am enjoying life in a new way again and that things that seemed impossible before, now seem so doable. :O)
How awesome!! So happy for your great progress!
"Enjoying my life and the confidence to experience more!
My support system: God, my husband, my family and wonderful friends!! I am so richly blessed and God is a God of second chances and this is one He has blessed me with and I'm not taking it for granted!!! Yeah

To God be the glory, for you know I cannot do this on my own. Tried for years and it never worked. Yes, I had surgery to help the process. But God brought me through surgery safely, HE is healing my body quickly, HE is giving me the energy and emotional healing. Without HIM, I would still be consumed by food addiction that held me captive for so many years. I finally feel free! I believe I was always free... but now, I finally feel it!
It was 23 pounds in 4 weeks. It was my pre weight before I started the pre-op diet. I didn't weight myself at home either. I figure... If I do what they tell me to do and listen to my body and needs, the weight will come off. I do not want to be obsessed over the scale... it is just gravity pulling down on us. I want to "feel' me getting lighter and watch the clothes get bigger... then buy smaller ones. I know a healthy weight is important, but at this point I am just going to weigh in at the doctors office until I am further out.

Congrats!! My two week appt. is tomorrow. I have weighed at home. Can't help it, I have always done that. I was 16 pounds down (I am a lightweight) and am very happy. I feel great and have more energy every day. I also agree with you on praising God. He gave me the strength and courage to do this for myself and brought me through surgery and recovery safely. Good Luck on your continued success
