Four Weeks Out

Aug 02, 2010

 Things are going okay. My doctor wants me to still be on liquids (a change from my education class), but I've ventured to a few solids here and there. I've mostly had soup, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, scrambled eggs, those kinds of things. I was really bad this weekend (we were camping) and took a few bites of a s'more. (lost 3 pounds over the weekend anyway). If something doesn't agree with me, I know immediately and it comes right back (or if I eat one bite too many the same thing happens).

I've lost 30 pounds total so far (11 pre op on the liquid diet). I'm 4 weeks out today! It seems amazing that it's been 4 weeks. I have my 1 month checkup on Thursday. I meet with the nurse practitioner and with the dietitian at that time. It took me 5 months on Jenny Craig to lose about 40 pounds so this does seem amazing.

I'm not in love with my DS yet, but I'm getting close. It's hard not to be able to eat when others are eating. I had forgotten how much of eating is social time as well. And I'm an emotional eater. With my mom not doing well at all, part of me just wants to stuff my face!
