4 weeks

Jun 08, 2011

So I'm one month post op...where did the time go??

I feel great....the incisions look really good...I think only one will be noticeable above the stomach long term..and the one inside my belly button is noticeable but hidden.

I think I may be losing hair...not really sure...but I've been using Nioxin shampoo and conditioner, just in case. I'm also trying to remember to take the Biotin, but I haven't been.

I'm down 28 pounds in 28 days!!! I am wearing normal sized clothes from Old Navy & Target....Large T-shirts & XL shorts.

I'm averaging about 600 calories a day....some days are harder than others to get my food in....and my protein hasn't been perfect...about 30-50 grams a day, with a few at the magic number of 60. I can drink fluids much easier now....almost gulps really. Luckily, no throwing up, no foamies, no real discomfort...But I measure everything...and typically do not eat more than 4 oz of anything...the only exception is protien shakes, I'm up to 5 oz sometimes.

I have loads more energy...I actually feel light. I can move easily, it is awesome! This also makes sex incredible, which the frequency has greatly increased.

As far as exercise goes...I'm getting about 10,000 steps a day, walking everywhere....I haven't gotten back to my gym routines yet...but next week I start back with my trainer....I'm ready for her to really whip me into shape...

I'm very thrilled I went ahead and got the sleeve....I feel that this time is truly different and I'm loving giving away all these "fat" clothes knowing I don't need to hold on to them like in the past...(when I knew I'd eventually gain the weight back)...

I'm loving life right now.....
