3 days post-op

Mar 21, 2014

Ao, I finally did it.  This has been a long journey for me.  I've thought of surgery often always backing out or deciding against it because I kept thinking I could do it with diet and exercise.  And I did do it...then gained it back. 

At 3 days out, I have more pain than I thought I would have and am really tired most of the time. Today is my first full day home and I will get in about 36 ounces of water and 48 grams of protein.  I think that is okay for my first full day.  I will continue to push up the water and protein.  Follow up is Friday, March 28th.

I am looking forward to so much.  I have no skinny clothes or memories of being within a normal BMI range.  The immense amount of things I have not done because of my weight is crazy to me when I start thinking of all the things I am looking forward to.  Mostly, with more energy and more opportunity to do things, I think my entire family will change.  I can't wait to have more energy for my kids.
