I'm so behind!

Okay,
So for anyone out there who may still be following my complete lack to update information on my weightloss, I'm finally posting!

Surgery went really well. I love my surgeon! He is absolutly the most caring doctor I think I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Even down to my incision bandages being heart shaped! I spent 3 days total in the hospital. That was quite a shock to my system. I've never had to be in the hospital before. But Baptist Hospital in Nashville is amazing. I had some great nurses and techs! My mom and Dad were with me and that made the days so much better! And James would come after work and stay until I fell asleep. I had such a great support team!

Once home though, that was a different story! That's when I thought..."Oh Crap, what did I do" But after the first two weeks, life seemed to get back to normal. I took 3 weeks off of work and I am so happy that I did! And my mom stayed to whole time. She was a rock! And she cleaned out the majority of my house! Goodwill never say her coming!

Well here I am, almost 2 months post-op and doing great! For the first time in my entire life, food is not a priority. That is such a great feeling. And I am down 47 pounds and just 7 pounds to my first goal! Life is so exciting again! I look for ways to be more active, because I'm starting to feel good again. I really wish I could have done this years ago. But I know all things happen for a reason. I am down 2 solid sizes too. That's a neat feeling. And I love the reactions of my friends and family. Especially at church. I have some amazingly supportive friends.

So that's the last two months in a nutshell! I'll try to keep a better update and add some pictures soon!
