Five days out

Feb 17, 2016

Well Mexico was interesting, not as scary as I thought overall.  The hospital was definitely not American. I met some great people. Mike and Tina (engaged couple), Angie and Ashlyn (mom & daughter), and Azita ( my roomie).  The first night and day I threw up. That hurt something fierce, but once back at the hotel I started to feel great.  I almost felt guilty because there were a few in our group that were super sick or had horrible gas pains. I did have two drains, for some reason, which may have helped with the gas build up. The long travel day home on day 3 though, whooped my butt. 

I definitely feel like I had surgery and rather than just take a few days off my desk job, I'm going to take at least 10 days.  I get a little dizzy when I move around too much and just feel tired quickly.

I have lost some weight... Yay! I was 270 when I decided I wanted to do this in January, 258 on the day of surgery and 249 last night (4 days out).

I hope to be able to keep in touch with my new friends and help each other in our journey.
