Week 3 Post-op

It's been over 3 weeks now since surgery and I can say I am finally starting to feel more human.   I am able to eat a lot more 'normal' foods.  I can go out with family and eat - just a much smaller portion and focus on the protein.  I won't say that it is 'easy' yet - as I am learning what my sleeve will tolerate and what it won't.  I throw up on an almost daily basis...and sometimes more than once a day.  And I still struggle with getting enough fluids/protein in and I'm still dizzy from a verticle to horizontal (or vice versa) position.  But all in all, I'm feeling almost human.  My stitches are almost healed, I can go walking longer distances, I can eat real food...life is pretty darn good.  :)

I didn't lose much this week (much to my dismay) but I am noticing differences in the way my clothing fits.   So I'm ok with that.   I figure my body is still in shock and trying to figure out what the heck happened to it.  :)

Here is my loss up to now.
