6 WEEKS POST OP ...oh yee of little faith

Aug 31, 2009

Well Im now 6 weeks post op...the scales are still stuck between 223-226.  All along this journey I have doubted every step of the way (oh yee of little faith).  What I mean by that is...I read on here the various phases of physical transformations that people on OH go through after WLS and I ALWAYS think, IM GONNA BE DIFFERENT...ITS NOT GONNA WORK FOR ME...IM GOING TO BE THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE...and as soon as I hit a stall...that same ol fear creeps back into my mind.  Im 6 weeks post op and Ive only lost 20 lbs since surgery and Ive been on a stall for about 2 weeks...It just makes no sense to me how I can eat only 3-400 calories a day and Im not emaciated?  Ive uploaded a picture of my 6 week milestone.  Not much different than my pre-op picture...but I have lost about 5 inches from my waist and a few inches from here and there on the rest of my body.  The good news is...I CAN FINALLY feel my energy returning...right on schedule..the doc told me at 6-8 weeks I would regain my energy and I thought...aww...Ill never get my energy back (oh yee of little faith) lol...but today ...I can feel it...made breakfast, did dishes, I mopped the floors, took the kids to school, vacuumed, showered, shopped, paid bills, watered the lawn and Im still feeling like I have energy to burn...on previous days, I would do well just to shower and then head back to bed.  Well Im gonna sign off for now until my 8 week post op post (post op post...thats kinda funny!!!)
