18 days and counting

Dec 11, 2009

So on the 8th I went to see Dr. Pecquex for my two week post op check up.  According to her, everything is going remarkably well, I am losing weight above the curve she expected and I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever.  No stuckness, No nausea, No vomiting, nothing. I am now eating soft foods and still supplimenting with the shakes as I am sure I will do probably for the rest of my life. The first week was really hard, especially since it was the week of thanksgiving, I actually got released from the hospital on Thanksgiving. My husband and I then celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday with his parents, my poor father in law was sick as a dog, so the two of us sat on the couch while mom and Pierce ate their tenderloin at the table. It was rather depressing actually, not because I couldn't eat, but because I felt astrosized, I felt segregated.  Eating a meal with your family is a very intimate and heart-warming thing, and I was saddened that I couldn't be a part of it. Saturday was probably my worst day post op, Pierce came over to hug me on the couch and I just burst into tears, I don't know why, I just started sobbing.  He was so concerned immediately, thought I was in pain or something, which I wasn't, atleast not physically, I just couldn't stop sobbing.  It passed though and now things are great. I feel great, I'm losing the weight, my incision staples are out and I am living life again.  My Heart goes out to Dr. Pecquex, she has really been my rock of support through this whole process since 2004 and I would not be where I am today without her.
