As of today, I am a week and 3 days post op. I am finally starting to feel pretty good. I still have the gas in my shoulder that is causing me pain and I can feel my port and it is pretty tender. Other then that, I am feeling so much better.
I went to church today and 3 people commented on my weight loss. That made me feel so good! I didn't thing people would notice yet. I really like that they can tell a difference.
Cecil and I went for a short walk tonight and I was able to walk back up to my normal pace. It felt wonderful! The last several walks I have been on have been so slow and every step hurt. But today was different. It is amazing to me how much better I feel. I love it! Cecil also told me that the walk today was much easier for him. He is doing awesome with his weight loss too! He is down 20 lbs. since I started my pre op diet. He did a lot of that with me and he is continuing to work so hard at losing weight. He has goals for himself just like I do, and together, we are going to get skinny! :)
My goals this next week are:
*Get my water in everyday! (I have been failing miserably at this!)
*Walk my 2 1/2 miles Monday-Friday
*Get my 3 "meals" and 3 snacks in on time
I've been giving myself slack due to how rotten I have been feeling, but it is time to get back on track. I hope I feel just as good tomorrow as I have today, maybe even a little better. :)
I am so grateful for the wonderful support Cecil has been to me! Even though I have had such a rough time since surgery, he has been there with me, helping me and encouraging me. I couldn't have made it through all that without him. I have a wonderful husband!
Since I didn't do a weigh in post on Friday, like I had planned, I will put my current weight as of today.
Pre surgery diet: 299.6
Surgery Day 10/17/13- 280
Today 10/27/13 -266.6
