2 Weeks Post-OP
Sep 11, 2007
Today I am at my 2 week mark and I have lost 17lbs. I am ready to go back to work and starting to go crzy. I have been pretty inventive with the pureed diet and plan on introducing new pureed foods with a little more flavor. My goal is to loose 20 lbs by the time I go back to work on Tues 9/11.
9/10/07- Dr. S. told me that I am not ready to go back to work yet due to dehydration problems. I swear I drink, drink, drink and drink...at least it feels that way.
9/12/2007 Today, I went to see my parents. They live about an hour from me. They were pleasantly surprised to see me looking sooooooo good. They have been coming over the past couple of weeks while my husband has been at work helping with the housework and just kind of keeping me company and they said that they can notice a difference from when they saw me on Thursday til today. I am ecstatic that it is that noticeable to people. it makes me feel real good to get that kind of response from people who have been telling me all my life that ..."Jen you are such a gorgeous girl BUT you really need to lose some weight." So it felt awesome to get some praise. Tomorrow (9/13/07) is my 3 weeks post-op milestone and so far, I have lost 21 pounds and have gained a new sense of confidence. I hope I haven't hit a plateau in my losing. That's okay...I will keep chugging along.
