1 Week Post-Op

Aug 11, 2009

Hi, friends!! Well, today is officially my 1st week post-op and it's been interesting. Last night before I went to bed I decided to weigh myself for fun (I know! I know! Rule of thumb, don't weigh yourself constantly! ) But this I did for pure fun!! So, anyway, it was around midnight when I stepped on the scale and it said 324. I was like wow!! I was just 326 that morning ( I know! I know! Rule of thumb, blah, blah, blah ) Anyway, I was so excited to reach my 1 week milestone that I AGAIN weighed myself this morning. And would you believe that crazy scale said 322?!! Now, my husband has his old hard plastic scale in the garage where he does his powerlifting and I said to myself, "Self, take your bootie down to the garage and try that old scale!" So I did! And it said 322!! Does the weightloss happen this fast?! It's so amazing!! It's like Christmas every time I step on the scale!! I feel good, I'm not craving anything, I'm walking more, drinking my water, etc... I mean, please veterans, tell me, is this how this WLS is supposed to work?! I've never lost weight this fast! In fact, I've always failed at diets and stuff?! I've NEVER had this happen. I almost feel like I need to contact the X-Files because this looks so alien like!! LOL! It's so surreal!

NOTE TO SELF: I had a couple of ounces of oatmeal this morning...bad idea!! I guess my pouch isn't ready for this, even though it is listed on my full liquid diet form...I got SOOOO sick, started hiccuping and had a vomiting episode. As soon as I cleared out my pouch I was good though. Had some water and took a nap. Again, avoid OATMEAL, even in its watery state! 

Well, friends, I leave you for now!! Thank you OH family for always being there for me!!
