A month post-op. I'm great!

Jul 31, 2010

Four weeks and I'm 8 kilo's (17,6 lbs) down. I still feel good, energetic and hopeful. This week I went jeans-shopping and fitted in a size 44, which is very near a normal size!  I felt like skipping with joy. 

I still have no complaints or complications. At all. I have been nauseaus once, just once ! I even enjoy my food more, as I am forced to pay more attention to it.  I hardly have any hunger, but I do enjoy the food I do eat. I have found all sorts of mini packages or good proteine-rich food, like cottage cheese, tuna, filet americain, etc. The big jar of protein powder hasn't even been used once. I wonder how my bloodwork will be when I go for a check-up in two months, if I will have any deficiencies. I have to admit I am more sloppy in taking my vitamin supplements then I had thought I would be. It would have been a good thing to make a habit out of that pre-op. 
Whenever I eat too much of something now, I feel an unpleasant mild cramping in my upper stomach. If I stop eating and drinking, it goes away in ten minutes or so. As an early warning system, it works perfectly. 

I even had my first unhealty food yesterday. My husband and I went to see a movie, and I splurged on some diet coke and a mini mini bag of potato chips, of which I still gave half to my husband. Even that went okay!
