Check-Up and New Food...

Jan 18, 2012

I had my first follow-up today.  I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks; and 24 pounds in 2 months.  The doctor was happy with 10 pounds but I was hoping for a few more after all my hard work these last 2 weeks.  But as my mom said, if I hadn't gone through with all of the pre-op stuff and the surgery I would weigh 400 pounds by now so I should be happy.

I got my first taste of real food tonight!  Mashed Potatoes and Gravy!  It was superb, probably because it wasn't protein!!!  I finally got to use the baby spoons I got at my Surgery Shower in August.  I can also have oatmeal, yogurt, pudding, "blenderized" scrambled eggs, and smoothies; anything smooth that can be blended.
