Week 3 Post-Op....Still Adjusting

Apr 12, 2011

So, today is three week's since the surgery.  The lbs are dropping fairly steadily.  No big dips or stalls which I think is good.  I am down about 30 lbs in these three weeks.  The odd thing is that it does not feel like it.  I think the reason for that is that most times I feel very full.  I am still trying to adjust to the food and supplement program.  Having a hard time with the fluids.  I am never thirsty so its a constant chore to drink.  I feel like I am drowning with every sip.  Food wise has been okay...trying to work on variety so I dont get bored with the same old thing over and over.  Cant wait to move to the next food stage in two weeks.  Mentally its been a struggle.  Everyone has been supportive, buts its still hard socially to be around folks that are eating like pigs...my brain wants to join in on the fun!  My body doesnt.  Physically I do feel better.  I am not retaining as much water in my legs.  My back and knees do not ache as much.  Ive been walking as much as I can, although the weather has not been cooperating.  Three weeks out and no regrets.  Best advise to myself and others...be selfish...stay focused.
