3 months out

Nov 23, 2012

I had my 3 month check up this week and all looks good. My surgeon says it is normal to not be able to handle meat at this point but before I return for my 6 month I should be doing fine with it. I hope so. I feel good and am enjoying my sleeve, mostly. I think it is just more difficult for me because I loved my band so much.

Thanksgiving was a great day with my family, my 84 year old parents, and my sister and her husband from Tenn. When my sister, Karen saw me she said it wasn'tt fair that I was wearing a size 8 pants. She claims she couldn't if her life depended on it. She has always been the skinny one but she has more butt than me and I am thicker in the torso. As for dinner that didn't go so great with eating. Things I thought I could handle didn't work. I ended up having to bring it all back up, yet that has been rare for me for a while. I tried some different things last night and same thing. I think my tummy was too irritated by then. What I did not expect to tolerate but decided to risk was pecan pie. 1/24 size piece went down just fine. Now that is something to be thankful for! Honestly I knew ahead of time that it all would be iffy so it isn't a big deal. The company was what was important so I didn't feel deprived. I would have avoided more of it than I did but my mother kept eying my plate. She freaks about how little I eat though I keep reassuring her that it is normal and that I get my nutrients other ways. You know how mothers are. The dog liked the tidbits I kept sneaking to him. He was very very thankful. lol

It feels very good to not have food as my primary focus.
