Tina’s Treasured Thoughts

Hello all,

I am doing so good after the Bariatric By-Pass surgery.   It has been 2 weeks ago on this past Tuesday.   My stiches are almost totally healed.   I had about a 2 1/2 inch incision and it is fantastic how I have healed.  I am diabetic and I was concerned about how I would heal.    But my sugar has also come down and maybe that is why I am healing well.

When the pre-op class instructor said I would not be hungry, I thought “sure”  but honestly I have not been hungry at all.  At this time, I am getting 2 oz. of liguid per meal which is 3 times a day and 2 snacks in between.  

I actually have to make myself eat because it is for my health and I must get the nutrients that my body needs.  I have lost 28 1/2 lbs in this short time and it feels great.

I drink protein shakes and calcium supplements, thiamine and B-12 to keep healthy.   As you can probably tell, I am very excited about this new lifestyle and new journey I am on.

I have spent a lot of time crocheting for the “Share A Square” program and am putting together another afghan kit together for Shelly Tucker.   This is such a great time to just relax and enjoy the time I have to do this.

Well, I pray that all of you will stay well and thanks for all the comments.

Just wanted to let all of know that my gastric bypass surgery went well on Tuesday and I am still in the hospital at St. Vincent’s Bariactric hospital and hope to go home tomorrow.  I will come back and post some more when I get home.
