4 Weeks out and I feel normal again :)

Oct 17, 2011

Tomorrow will be 4 weeks.  Other than my scars itching, I have no pain anymore.  I have my energy back and feel great!  I bought an elliptical machine over the weekend, so I'm ready to step up my workouts to maximize my results.    I have experienced the dreaded 2 week slow down.  I have heard from several friends and also blogs on here that a lot of people experience very little weight loss a few weeks after surgery.  It was falling daily, but the past two weeks I only lost a total of 4 pounds.  Things are looking up though. I know, I shouldn't be stepping on the scales daily, but I can't help it...I'm a scale weighing junkie!!   

As far as eating is concerned, it's a trial and error situation now.  I'm on the pured portion of the diet now.  Some things I have been able to tolerate and others have been just a little too much for me to handle.  It's still very hard getting used to only eating a few spoon fulls of something and being extremely full.  Over time, I'll get used to it, I hope!  I am so tickled that my Dr said I can now have coffee.  It's like a guilty pleasure and counts toward my daily liquid intake.  Stoked over that!  I missed my coffee.

So, other than that, things are going smoothly..  Just ready for the scales to continue to go in the downward motion.  Oh, I almost forgot...I had kept a pair of jeans from probably 8 years ago and have not been able to wear them since then.  I can fit in those suckers comfortably now!!  It's an awesome feeling!!! 

More later...
