One week post op!

Yesterday was one since my gastric sleeve surgery! Everything went good with the surgery...from what I remember ;) I was pretty out of it the first couple days. The drugs they had me must have been pretty good! Mike says I did ok, I was just trying to get the babies outta the bushes where they were smoking cigarettes...apparently I was talking out of head! Lol!! I vaguely remember walking to the car about 6 hours after surgery and going to the hotel. That night I was pretty nauseous, but once I was able to keep the meds down, I was good! I think I only took pain meds for about 3 days after...I really have felt pretty good...but very tired...I was on liquids only for the first week, but now I have transitioned into pureed foods, so that has helped with my energy level some. It's so weird though, I get hungry and my mind still thinks, I could eat a whole plate of food, but then I start eating and 3-4 bites, and I am full!! It's definitely as much mental as anything!

Today I am down 25lbs, and still have a ways to go, but I'm thrilled with that progress over 3 weeks! Stay tuned for more updates as I Journey on!!
