1 Week Post-Op Checkup

Dec 12, 2012

Well today was my one week post op check up and I must say that I think I surprised myself completely. I have been having a serious battle with the liquid stuff but I know I chose this route and I know I chose this route. Whoever ever tells me I took the easy way out can be sure they are the first person I tell to kiss my a$$. I saw the dietician and she said I am on the right track as far as my protiens and liquid intake goes. My surgeon then came in to tell me I have lost 12 pounds in a week.....Back up 12 POUNDS?!?!?!?! Seriously I do not remember the last time I was able to lose 12 pounds by myself well yes I do it was when I joined the Army in 2005 before I busted my knee and back up. Holy smokes I am happy that the weight is coming off even though I can not tell yet. I am also glad to get the reaffirmation for doing this because lately I have been asking that question what did I just do to myself. So many things are going on in my life that seem to be bringing me down and I really needed today to show me that I did the right thing for myself. Now to get another week and a half of liquids down and I can start pureed/soft foods on Christmas Day.. another good note! My next checkup is not until March at my 3 month out mark I am excited to see what I lose between now and then.
