2 weeks and 3 days post-op

Jul 10, 2011

So, today at church, the people noticed that I had lost weight! I even had one lady call me a movie star-LOL!! Soooo not a movie star!!! Hee hee!! But, it felt good to finally be noticed! I have been dieting and making food changes since March when I thought I would be having surgery in May! I was losing weight then...just not enough for others to see!

My hubby came home from the hospital, and his sleeve surgery, yesterday. He is doing well, but, he says he is hungry. I think it must be head hunger-and visual wanting of foods that look good!!  I have not been hungry...which thrills me to death! I have no idea if this is good, or not...normal, or not. But, I will certainly not complain!  

I am trying to eat more-like I was eating soup once a day, and the rest was just protein shakes. Am I suppose to be eating once, twice or three times a day?! I guess I need to talk with my nut!! Besides,  I sort of stink at eating my shakes...early on I drank the bullet proteins-which appear to be quite the punch when it comes to protein. But, I just can't stand the taste!! Could they be any sweeter?  Anyways...as I have written before-I am sold on on only one shake-Nectar's chocolate truffle. I like it with skim milk, or water.  I  have been struggling to get 3 of them in-plus all the water! I do my best, and some days do great! I am hoping to get approval for exercise soon, so I can get back to my couch to 5k training for a 5k in September! Don't get me wrong-I have been walking, but, just not enough! Oh, and my pool is screaming my name!!! 

So, overall I feel so much better than the first week after surgery...it really has gotten better! My husband has the same "what did i do to myself" look that I had the first week...but, the weight has just been dropping off us both.  It was fun seeing my surgeon and the same nurses that treated me in the hospital, treating him. They all said I was doing great, and looked good!  One morning I was getting dressed to go see my husband in the hospital, and I had to dig out some "too small" capris that I had put back! It was a great feeling, as they slipped right on, and easily buttoned without me tucking in all my extra puff! I floated in on a cloud that day! I just hope that me and my pouch can be the best of friends!!
