Hello friends!
It's been awhile since I wrote, but I had my 2-month post-op appt. today, so I wanted to write a little update. It really is hard to believe that tomorrow will be 2 months since my surgery. I continue to be doing great, and have already lost over 40 lbs. I probably won't post many weight stats, but I share that to let you know that already, remarkable things are happening in that area. I had 9 tubes of blood drawn today to see how my body is doing nutrients-wise, and hopefully I'll hear good news. My doctor said I was right on track and just encouraged me to continue to do all the right things (eat as instructed, exercise - lots of walking, and to take my vitamins).
I honestly feel great and continue to have no complications. I have tried most things I like to eat and plan to eat, other than sushi, and I haven't had any digestive issues with any of them.
I haven't made it to 10,000 steps yet (that's my goal everyday), but I get close, and I try every day. When I told my doctor this today, he said that was good, and to just keep trying.
I haven't been to a support group yet at the clinic, but I plan to attend one next month to see if they are helpful as well. I guess they have a clothes exchange there as well, and since I have already dropped 2 pants sizes, I would love to donate some clothes, as well as borrow some smaller sizes.
Well thanks for reading and thanks for caring!! I hope you are doing great too!
Much love,
~ Stephanie
