The Beginning......June 17, 2013

So my pouch is 36 days old.  Ahhhhh....I don't have kids so I never got to tell people how old my kids were in days and months.  That always bugged the crap out of me!  But now I can use it for my pouch.

36 days and it hasn't been half bad.  If you would have asked me during the first time I got food stuck and panicked because I was in public with nowhere to hide I probably wouldn't have been too excited about my decision to have Gastric Bypass.  But for now, today, I am happy.  No more Type 2 Diabetes, Blood Pressure is normalizing and I have lost 16lbs so far.

Learning to eat is interesting.  I still only eat mostly mushy foods, but I have a much bigger variety than when I first got home from the hospital.  Liquids and more liquids.  I have noticed that absolutely everything revolves around food.  I have been asked by my well meaning friends to go out to lunch, dinner, happy hour!  Not even a movie or a walk has been suggested....which would be the more appropriate function for me right now.  But people just love going out!
