Yep, this is what I've been saying. This surgery was not a magic pill. I still struggle and the journey hasn't always been easy. But I will say this. This morning I had to get up early and deliver flyers to a neighborhood for work. I walked for the better part of two hours. Before surgery, I would have been dripping with sweat and would have been COMPLETELY exhausted afterwards. Except for needing coffee, I was just fine after I finished my route today. And I probably mentioned this before, but my carpal tunnel seems to have disappeared, my knees and feet already feel better and I'm pretty sure my sleep apnea is disappearing too. I still snore, but apparently not as loudly. I know I'm sleeping better. Fortunately, I have not had any of the complications some of the folks in the story have and I hope that continues. My doctor told me that she has two sleeve patients who are always nauseous and getting sick and she thinks it's because they don't eat enough protein. I'm obsessed with protein. She thinks this is why I hardly ever get sick. I've really only gotten sick about 5 times or so...and it's usually because I ate one bite too many. I hope the good luck continues!
