6 weeks post op

Today I am 6 weeks post op. These 6 weeks weeks flew by. So much has happened in these last two weeks that i can honestly say that this is the most influential experience of my life. The last time i was this happy was when my Godson Ryan was born.

Being down 61 pounds is still shocking. I think about it all the time. I wonder sometimes, if I didn't have the surgery, if that 61 pounds would have been added to the 359 pound (me) before surgery. It makes me a little emotional sometimes to know that soon i will not be obese.

I am going away for the long holiday weekend. I sat down last night and plotted my water drinking and exercise routine while I am away from home. Last weekend when i went away, the hardest thing was trying to get all my water in. That will not happen this weekend. The exercise will consist of mostly walking. I am taking my newphew (godson Ryan) to the Zoo on monday. I will be walking a TON when i am there.

I will have computer access while i am away so i will be able to keep this up to date while I am gone. I hope that everyone had a good week and their holiday weekend is even better!!
