21 days and 26 pounds gone

Aug 12, 2010

I am three weeks post-op today.  This past week has been busy - working and trying to get ready for my niece's wedding this weekend.  But I have been feeling so energetic and good.  I went shopping for a new dress.  I am down a size or two, but couldn't find the dress I liked in my size, so I figured I'll just buy the one I like and alter it to my new size, which I did!  My daughters and husband were all surprised when I showed it to them - it wasn't "matronly" looking, lol.

I got to the 'Y this morning for the first time since surgery, to work out.  I have been walking a lot and doing some exercises at home, so I actually had a really good workout.  I'm looking forward to being able to swim, though.  I also stepped on the scale to see if I lost anymore weight, and I lost 7 lbs in the past week - a total of 26 pounds since surgery, and 31 pounds total.  I know it will slow down a bit, but I'll take whatever I can get.

I am still in the pureed part of the diet, but am feeling a little more like eating other things besides my protein shakes.  I tried hommus this week and had no trouble at all.  For convenience, I bought some organic pureed baby food, and they have actually been convenient to have when I am on the go.  I am going to try black beans and rice tonight.  We'll see.
