Three weeks out!!!!!
May 17, 2011
what an interesting 3 weeks it has been. Surgery and recovery are painful..but the rewards are sweet. Im doing fine and losing slow and steady...just like I wanted. Mentally Im great..I knew what to expect going in due to my excellent pre-op program at Albany Med and the bad habits and the retraining of them well before surgery. Im getting in walks everyday and taking it easy as well. Im so happy I decided to do this for my health and happiness!!!
