This is Me.

This is the story of my Weight Loss Surgery, namely the Vertical Gastric Sleeve. When I started this journey, I really wanted someone to tell me exactly what to expect, what to eat, what to do, etc, so I decided to chronicle my OWN journey.....to be able to look back on it, but also to possibly help someone else about to start theirs.

Day 25 - Things I haven't done.....(10th day of liquid diet)

As I laid in bed Sunday morning, I started thinking about all the things I haven't done in the past month or so....good and bad:

I haven't:

- had soda (diet or otherwise)
- had coffee (that was a BIG one)
- had sugar (I know I'm addicted to sugar, so this was huge, too)
- had starches (white rice, pasta, bread)
- had milk (if you knew how much I love cold, white milk, you'd be more impressed)
- had headaches (since the surgery...which is awesome!  used to have them every day)
- had foot/joint pain (just a few pounds can really make a difference)
- had hunger pains (this really shocked me)

I'm sure there's more and I'll add to this list as I think of them.

We went to the grocery store today and I actually drove for the first time since the day before surgery.  I did just fine, although I was exhausted after shopping with my children.  But that's an all-the-time thing.  I promptly went home and crawled into bed.  I did manage to oversee some room cleaning, dishwasher emptying and laundry washing.  My boys are really going to appreciate me more when this is all over.
