Day 5 - Post Op

Jun 16, 2016

The first week has been full of many ups and downs.  I had surgery in Mexico and I went alone!  Yes I went alone!   I've been to Mexico many times so I wasn't afraid or nervous.  Until I was in the surgery room!! ???? 

When I woke up I immediately regretted the surgery - the finality of it all hit me like a ton of bricks. Fast forward 5 days... I feel good.  I don't regret it anymore and glad I chose this path.  I was a low BMI but I struggled with my weight.  My family has a short longevity due to heart disease and diabetes, which is why I made the decision to make this lifestyle change. 

Back to day 5 -  I've been focusing on getting in my liquids every 15 minutes.  I'm eating broth for dinner, juice smoothie for breakfast and different juice smoothie for lunch.  Today I indulged on a fudge pop.  I couldn't eat it all, but it was a delicious treat from my past life.  

I'm cramping up a bit, I'm guessing it is due to lack of minerals and vitamins.  I receive my Bariatric vitamins tomorrow!!  I really need them!
