6 week post op results

Dec 29, 2009

Hi my sisters and brothers,

I just wanted to update you on my status. i had my 6 week check up on Dec 21st and I'm down 38 lbs since my surgery. The sad thing about this day is I had gained 1 lb and I was pissed. My nurse said that it was ok and I shouldn't beat myself up over it in which in a way I wasn't considering that  for quite sometime I couldn't eat or drink anything.

I went shopping with my home girl today at Burlington and they had some Dereon jeans on sale marked down. I only own 2 pairs of jeans as I never wore before and they were sitting in my closet, but since I try and get out my size 20 stretch jeans were really baggy on me. Thus my peoples was like it is time to try on another pair of jeans smaller size. Now I'm fitting a size 18 jeans and it fits well . I feel like I'm losing my booty for sure and I'm really bum out about that. However, i'm happy of the size 18 and now I'm trying to work towards a size 14 .

I'm eating more now and my food is staying down. Seafood works best with me and ground turkey is digesting well. I haven't tried chicken yet and I'm hoping that goes well. i miss my chicken I must say. I love my shrimp and king crab legs. I've eaten out twice already thanks to my home girl getting me out of the house and introducing me to try new foods. I can't eat much soup as the broth really fills me up.

I'm ready to start exercising and getting my legs and arms smaller. Hopefully my stomach will get small enough so that I won't need surgery on that part, but we will see. My stomach has slimmed down a whole lot according to my kids and mother and I'm happy to hear that. I have to work harder on my vitamins because I can't stand the taste of them and hate swallowing the cod liver oil capsules. My ulcers should be healing, but I hate the pills too.

I'll keep you posted on any updates, but if you have any suggestions for me to try since i've reached my 6 weeks mark and to prevent gaining more weight please let me know.
