4 weeks (plus a couple days)

Jul 24, 2011

Ooops, forgot to post at 4 weeks post-op! Time flies!
Things are going pretty well. I still rarely get hungry (a miracle!!) 

The pain has gone down, but I still have some pain everyday. It has interferred with my activities, but I'm still trying to do what I can to try to ignore it.

I am down 28 lbs! (10 prior to surgery; 18 in the past 28 days).
I am able to move a lot more, but I'm still pretty out of shape.
It has been terribly hot!! so I have moved my workout to indoors. It was 106o yesterday (not our usual weather). I walked in the mall yesterday (had to stop for esophageal pain), but at least I got some walking done in the cool air!

I am meeting a friend for lunch at a restaurant tomorrow! Yikes! However, she had RNY 3 years ago, so she a safe person to go out to eat with!  I keep thinking it'll be hard to see all those large portions and yummy stuff and only have a few bites! I have checked out the menu for the place. I'm still on soft foods til Tuesday and I did think about going ahead with regular foods, but they have some seafood things and I figured out a couple items I could choose from. Wish me luck!

While I was surfing, I ran into a couple tips: ask to sub fries with an extra serving of veggies, refuse the bread that they put on the table, and even ask them to remove the water (or move it out of reach).

I also ran into an interesting blog: http://www.bandfriendlyrecipes.com/. There were a couple interesting looking foods. Thought I'd share!
