day 6

Sitting here today on 1-31-2015 6 days after my surgery day 5 of my liquid diet and I crave a bacon cheeseburger with the works, however I know that I do not want on and that my protein shake and malt o meal I'm going to have for lunch is all.  1 oz at a time 5-6 meals a day for another week and half.  Then I get to start eating things like eggs, peanut butter, cottage cheese, softer baby food kinds of foods.  Not doing to bad with the liquids just getting bored with them already.

I have found out that I have to drink very very slowly and make 1 oz last me at least 5 min or i'm in pain. so much pain with the gas and bloating, that I am normally crying.

The in-cessions pains aren't so bad anymore. I can sleep in my bed on my stomach now if i'm very very careful. I love walking. I walked around Walmart for a while last night.

I refuse to say how much I have lost in weight because i can't see it as yet, i'm still bloated, puffy and what not. but i did get on the scale and wow lets just say WOW

The New Me!

This was me on 1-27-2015

on Januray 26th, 2015 I checked myself into the Avera/McKenna Hospital in Sioux Falls, Sd and had surgery...  Gastric Sleeve Surgery.  

First lets start off with who I am. I am a 32 year old female. (33 on march 8th)  i have 2 children that are the ages of 9 and 5. My two kids are my life. I would do anything for them. Hince the reason Why I did the surgery. 

Being over weight my whole life I was not able to do a lot of the things that mom's would do. I couldn't get on the floor and play with them. chase after them at the park or even ride bikes with them in the summer.  So one day I decided to start with the process of weight loss.
