Update!! 6 weeks post-op.

and I'm feeling great. (: I had an appointment today.. Everyone said i was doing good. I'm glad. I'm averaging a loss of about 3 pounds a week.. I've already lost 15% of my excess body weight.. I was paranoid cause i havent been seeing my scale move but its clearly my scale, its playing tricks on me. because the scale at doctors offices show that i've lost weight.

I feel a lot better about things now. Incisions are pretty much completely healed now. just a little pink. i can lay on my stomach again, completely. i'm getting all my fluids and protein in. exersize is still slightly an aissue but just because i'm sick of walking.. I'm getting a gym membership soon and theres a pool.. i love swimming. so that should help plenty. i tend to do better when i have a ocmmitment for motivation. I hate letting people down. it would be a waste of money on my grandparents who are paying for it, if i don't use it.

I got a tattoo last week (: Its on my wrist.. I can't get a picture right now. But it says 'Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle." and i like it a lot (: i've wanted it for awhile. it was a belated 16th birthday present, even though I had to pay for it.. lol.

i can eat almost anything now... another 2 weeks till i can have red meat and bread, but other than that.. i'm set. i had my first salad today, in almost 2 months. that is my favorite food ever. i've missed it. <3 haha.

I'm exhausted. I only had one hour of sleep last night for a long list of reasons. and i just got back from the hospital, and the hour long drive just gets to me. so I'm gonna go sleep. But i'll update again soon. <3
