Hello Ann~~~~~Keep up the great work you are doing losing weight. That mind thing is the biggest fear I have, that I won't be able to control myself. Thanks for the post, it helps me to see that people that had the same problems as I did before surgery can overcome the head games. I wish you all the best and I pray you find all the health and happiness you ever dreamed of. PEACE

Hello, I made it. It's one month after surgery but better late then never. I have lost 32 lbs as of last Monday. Things are going well. I am a little frustrated with eating. I have good days and bad. Sometimes I forget that I have a new stomach and eat more then I should and then I remember. My stomach reminds me. I was really, really tired for about 2 weeks. I am starting to get some strength back. I started back to work yesterday. That was interesting. I had to change my routines for eating and drinking again. I feel this pull to go back to my old habits when I am at work. Like before I had the surgery I would go in the morning and get a donut and a pepsi. That was a typical breakfast. I got out of my car this morning and that was the 1st thing I thought of. So, I still have some things to work on and I am sure this process will keep going on for a while. It's interesting to learn all the little games that my mind places. It's the same games that it played before I had the surgery, but I can control the game now where I couldn't before. There are still times that I don't completely succeed, but I know that I am getting better at controlling it. Until next time!

Ann, I pray that your recovery will be fast and beyond your hopes. I ask that God watch over you and bring your through safely to the other side. Walk, cough and breathe deep as you being your new life. God bless you.

Well, my consultation date with my doctor has been moved up to 12-27. He wants to see me before he sets up and appointment for the cardiologist. I have mitral valve. They want to make sure that there will not be any complications when they do the surgery. I was suprised when they told me. That explained alot of other problems that I was having. Swollen feet. Heart felt like it would stop at times and then start again. Things like that. I thought I was having anxiousity attachs. Guess not. I will update after I see Dr. Schwartz.

Well, I am waiting for the results of the echo... They had to injest with die to see the circulation so I am not sure if that is good or bad. We will see.
