3 Weeks

Mar 13, 2012

Today marks 3 weeks post op. I went to the DR yesterday and weighed in at 272. Thats 10lbs down from my last appointment which was nine days after surgery. So I guess at this point I have lost 17lbs since surgery. Not bad! I am starting to see a difference. My cloths definitley fit differently and my face looks less fat.

I started going back to the gym on Sunday. Prior to surgery I had been doing a modified couch to 5k kind of thing. Running (SLOWLY) for 1/4 mile and walking a 1/4 mile. Sunday when I started back I walked for an hour on the treadmill. Yesterday I tried some running/walking. I don't want to overdue it and get burned out so early. I am thinking I might take a break today.....but I don't know.

Also, I have been eating some different things. Chilli, tuna, turkey, string cheese, chicken with spaghetti sauce on top (yum). I have some salmon waiting for me at home to eat tonight. I have noticed since going back to the gym that if I go at night, it's hard for me to eat anything afterwards. I am so thirsty, so I drink water, then I don't have room for food. This has happend the past couple of nights. Sunday night I drank too much at one time which caused me to be in discomfort and to burp a lot. It was gross.

St. Patty's is coming up this weekend....I have been known to drink quite a bit on occasion...It's going to be quite a change seeing it from the other side this year. We'll see what happens!
