3 weeks post-op...
Feb 07, 2010
Well I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. I'm so excited about everything. I know it took years for this weight to come on so I know it will take some time for it to come off but I'm happy at how much I've lost so far. To date, I've lost 29 pounds. I'm hoping to loose at least 1 pound by tomorrow so I can say I've lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks. That's 10 pounds a week!The things I've been able to eat are:
Water
Juice (Grape, Apple)
Chicken Broth
Popsicles (Crystal Light Sugar Free)
Cottage Cheese
Jello
Pudding
Cheese Broccoli Soup
Club crackers soaked in the soup
Mashed Potatoes
Stuffing (only 2 bites)
Strawberries (only 1-2 cut up)
Eggs with cheese melted on it
I'm happy to say that everything I've tried to eat has sat well in my stomach. I've not been or felt sick at all. My husband had the surgery last Monday (1 week post op from tomorrow) and he has felt sick or nauseous for a long time. He can only eat the Popsicles right now. He has lost about 19 pounds since surgery date.
I have one more full week off from work and I'm loving every minute of it. I probably could have gone back this week coming up but I figure, they gave me 4 weeks, I'm gonna take 4 weeks.
Well wanted to just do an update for whoever likes to read these things! Also, I think it will be nice to be able to look back when I'm a year out and say, yeah, 3 weeks out, I was down this much and was able to only eat these things!
Until next time...
