"1 week" Post Op Check Up

 I had my check up with my surgeon today. Everything looks great. He said I need to have at least a protein shake even though I'm not hungry. I know that. Just have to keep working at it. Protein shakes make me thirsty and I don't like feeling thirsty. I drank a lot of water pre op so not being able to guzzle water is a little tough. 

Anyway, no swelling really and I go back in a month.

Ive lost 8 lbs since surgery last Tuesday, 16 lbs total since April 10 pre op diet. I'm losing 1+lb/day but my mind is playing tricks on me saying that's not enough. I think I'll have to stop weighing myself everyday. Plus I'm kinda a lightweight. 

Im most excited about not being hungry. It's pretty awesome. 

Last night was terrible though. Couldn't sleep, stupid dog has allergy attack and kept waking me up. I tweaked my back doing dishes yesterday. I think I was compensating for my tummy even though it doesn't hurt. 

Im going to rest some more today then do some school work. Have a walk and a few chores planned for later 

Thank you everyone for your support! *hugs*

 I go at 11:40 for my 1 week post-op hope all is good! Good Job its hard for me to get in shakes and my liquid I'm doing about 35ish liquids and 42grams of protein so I got to keep working on it as well

8lb in one week seems quite nice... protein will help the weight loss, think of it that way.
how light weight are u? that will also slow weight loss...pets are not good for sleep, worse than my babies were! good u can rest

 Starting weight 233. Now 217. 

That's SO awesome! You are on the right trac****ep up the great work!!

Yay!  Way to go.  Sounds like you are doing awesome!
