6 Weeks and 3 Days

Well, I went yesterday for my 6 week post-op appointment. The doctor said everything is great and to keep it up. I'm hoping to start a workout routine next week to help with the skin getting back to where it should be. I'm down to 268.8, so a total of 38.2lbs lost in 6 weeks. That's almost an average of a pound a day. Need to get myself motivated to start working out!

1 Month Ago Today

It's hard to believe it's been a month already. I got on the scale today and I'm down to 272.2. So from date of surgery down 25.4 and down 34.8 since my pre-op appointment on the 6th of December. I'm starting to eat real food again. I had a 1/2 bologna and cheese sandwich today with a few chips. How nice to actually bite into something!!! I made sure to use FF bologna, wheat lo-cal bread, FF cheese, and mustard. It tasted pretty good. I just dread eating. I never know what to have. My husband got me a tea maker, so I've been drinking tea a lot with sweet and low, so no calories. Anyways, I'm doing good, sleeping back in bed now and even on my stomach. I still have a pain that smarts every once in a while if I move fast or bend too far, but other than that I'm feeling great. Anxious to get the green light to start exercising.

Another Day

Well, yet another day of my new life and I'm surviving. It's hard but every day is a new day. I've realized that I really need to start eating more protien. I've been eating too many carbs. Will be updating my weight in a couple weeks. Tuesday will be 3 weeks. Seems like longer, but only 1 week and 4 days until I can eat normal food.

2 Weeks Post-Op

Well, I'm two weeks out and down 17lbs. I was hoping for a little more, but I guess that's pretty good when you think about it. We made it through Christmas. So many temptations and I can't eat anything. Just mush! We had lassagna and garlic bread and homemade peach cobbler. I did lick a little of the cobbler it was so good! I had the lassagna in small small bites but without meat so it didn't taste as good. I went shopping today and got a lot of bargains. Anyways, going to go for now, will follow up soon!

Another Day

Well, according to my scale I'm down to 281.5 as of this morning with clothes. I've been doing pretty good. The eating is just so hard mentally. Knowing I can only have things that are smushed up! I want a burger or a pizza! I know with time this will go away. Healing pretty good. Still a little soar. My back is hurting more than anything but that seems to be letting up too. Will follow up again soon

Tomorrow Will Be 1 Week

Well, hard to believe tomorrow it will already be 1 week after surgery. I go for my appointment at 2. Hopefully everything is OK. I'm still sore, not using the pain meds though. The eating just sucks and is so hard but I'm managing. I'm just craving everything I can't have. Will check-in tomorrow with my weight and progress! :)
