First, I'm terrified. The surgery is over, 2 weeks ago. I lived through that which was the first thing I braved. And now it is 2 weeks out (in 1 hour) and I have not had a blood clot, or an immediate leak. I have been more or less able to get fluids and protein in. It's been slow. Some things are not going down -- eggs. Not working. But soup and cottage cheese are. Whatever, it's a process.
I'm terrified it won't work. That I have gone through this drastic change, let some surgeon cut off 85% of my stomach, lost the ability to drink like a midwesterner and it won't work.
I'm going to measure tomorrow. Probably not weigh. Or maybe I will.
I'm also a little apprehensive about putting identifying information up. I have told some of my friends and family, but actually now that I have told some, I wish less people knew. However, I have looked at blog after blog on the internet when I was researching and it only seems fair to put my story out there too.
