4 Weeks Post Surgery- Day 1 of Solids

May 16, 2011

Well, I survived the liquid and pureed diet. I am on solids as of today and certainly enjoyed my multi-grain cheerios for breakfast this morning! It's nice to have options but I am a little frustrated because of the so-called "bandster hell" I have my appetite back and pretty much no restriction. On occasion I do feel satisfied just depending on what I eat but it definitely isn't like when I first came out of surgery swollen. I'm just hanging in there until my first fill on June 2nd. Hopefully I will make it. I am down 40 pounds since I first met with the surgeon back in November. I am down 22 pounds since I started the liquid diet 6 weeks ago and nearly 1/3 of the way to my goal weight. I am just trying to focus on that to stay motivated...getting to the gym when I can, tracking my food and exercise on myfitnesspal.com and taking things one day at a time!
