Three Weeks Post-Op

Aug 23, 2010

This last week was rough!

*  I discovered that stalls suck.  It's even worse when you gain 3 pounds and then just hover there for a week!!!
*  But on a positive note, I have lost 2 inches around my hips and waist so at least there is some proof this is working.
*  I don't ever feel full.  I worry about that.  I follow my diet to the T, never going over the prescribed amount (eating about 1/2
    cup per meal now) so maybe I'm not pushing it.  But still....
*  On the other hand, I'm still not very hungry.  Eating is like a chore to me right now.
*  I have yet to find some type of food that disagrees with me.  My surgeon allows meat pretty early I guess and I have eaten 
   chicken, ground beef and deli turkey all with no problems.  Hmmm...this makes me wonder too.
*  A big yay that my pouch will allow me hot sauce!  I love spicy food and apparently so does my pouch!  :)
*  I definitely do NOT like the Birthday Cake protein flavor from About Time!  My chicken flavor Unjury arrived today though
   so I will try that this week and hopefully I can get that down.
*  My energy waxes and wanes.  One day I am bouncing around, the next day I need to take a nap.  Bleh.
*  I am getting at least 30 minutes of walking most days, which is nice.
*  Constipation is kicking my butt (pun intended)!  I definitely am not liking this aspect of my guts getting rearranged.  :)
*  Hoping this week cummulates with at least some form of weight loss.
