Five Weeks Post Op

Aug 19, 2010

Well, I had my appointment with Dr. Chebli this week. Initially I was afraid I had not lost enough weight and he would be disappointed in me. This is part of an old habit related to seeing doctors and having anxiety about what they would say about my weight. He said I was doing great and he was very happy with my 30 lb loss since surgery. I am feeling really good, having a little bit of a stopped up feeling sometimes (constipation) but if I exercise and get in my water that really helps.

This week, we are going back to my hometown for a visit. It will be the first time that some of my family meets our 7 month old son. I hope that this excitement keeps the pressure off me to have to answer a million questions related to my wls. I am also apprehensive that some of my family will wonder if I even had surgery at all since I don't look that much different.

As you can see, I am into instant results and this surgery is a long process. I am trying to change this kind of thinking in ALL areas of my life not just with wls. If anybody has any tips for working on that, I'm interested to hear your input.
