Day 7 Post Surgery I am under 300 lbs!!!!

Apr 05, 2011

 I am so very happy to say I am under 300 :)  I was 354 when I started this journey...and 313 when they wheeled me into surgery last Tuesday!  Today is my one week anniversary so I guess it's a great day to get past that barrier of 300! 

I am suffering major back pain.  I think walking could help but the weather is not cooperating.   Some people have told me they think it's gas, and honestly it hurts less when I walk around.  So, I just did some housework, and plan to do the Wii Fit later.  I just finished my breakfast, 6 oz of Greek Yogurt.  Oh, and I did my BMI calculation and see I have gone from SUPER Obese to Extremely Obese...haha, don't know which sounds worse!!  But I can laugh today knowing that six months from now I will be in a wonderful place :)

My biggest challenge (other than the weather making me lazy) is getting in the fluids and protiens.  I am doing fine w/supplements.  I just cant get in so much food!  And I don't want to stretch my pouch, so don't know how it is possible to get it all in.  Hmmm...

Well, tomorrow is my birthday, I really hope I don't spend it sitting alone infront of my computer!  It is also my 1 week post op visit at the surgeon's office, my brother is driving me so hope he remembers it's my bday!!  I can't eat but he can bring gifts...LOL :)

Speaking of driving...I drove today for the first time!  It kinda felt achy and strange.  I was duped, my daughter (15) missed her bus, so it was let her stay home or drive her.  I chose to get her butt to school!! haha!  I am hopeful that tomorrow I will get the OK to drive again.
