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...
