GREAT 5wk post-op visit!
(i had to go in at 1 wk for incision issue, so this was my one-month, delayed a week)
i've been grousing about losing slowly and blaming my horrible former band, but turns out the dr scale was far kinder than mine (and it's the one my official weight is on anyway). Down 31 lb since 2 days pre-op!
whoo hoo! and i feel so great. i know it's bc i am off sugar. i was/am a major carboholic but seeing how much better i feel off the carbs is very inspiring.
also, i had been worrying that my 800-900 cal a day was way to much for this stage but dr. says she wants me to aim for 1200-1400. i haven't had a single issue getting liquid or soft food down, so i get to eat regular food now, too.
It was like bariatric Christmas!
