A Month Out

Jun 26, 2009

Here I am a month post-op and I am having an emotional meltdown! Normally I am a strong person and very resilient. These past four days I just have been crazy.  I went to the ER feeling sick and dizzy and they admitted me because I had a dangerous drop in potassium.  I just got out of the hospital yesterday. I told my mother not to come see me at the hospital and I hurt her feelings.  Then my boyfriend broke up with me, while I was in the hospital and I was a witch! (actually that was a blessing in disguise)  I can't stand to be around anyone.  Today I have to make appts to see doctors for follow up and have some labs done.  I was going to drive myself and keep pushing....Instead, I just took a deep breath and realized I need to get a hold of myself.

It is a huge physical change I have undergone.  Great things are happening because of it and I need to stay positive and focused.  Yesterday, my doctor took me off the blood pressure meds!!! What an accomplishment!!!! It is super!

I've decided I will relax and try and stay calm.  This is not easy.

I also have already lost inches.  I went from a size 18 pants to a size 16.  My suits fit wonderfully and I have gotten great compliments. 

Ikeep telling myself...
Focus on the positive,
Focus on the positive AND Relax
