1 Month Post Op

Mar 31, 2009

Today I am 1 month and 1 day Post Op.  I have lost 17lbs.  Should have done a little better, but I was eating a lot of different things because I could tolerate it.  Tried to keep my portion sizes to a cup or half cup.  After I start eating soft foods, and I advanced about 3 or 4 days earlier, I realized the weight didn't move.  I also was at home and not working, so I didn't have to get up to eat or drink until almost noon.  I think that hurt me also, because on several occasion, I wasn't hungry nor was I drinking (about 20oz that day).  When I realize what I was doing, I immediately started getting my fluids in, and try a little more protein.  I also started exercising week 3.  Was using light weights, so that may have made me heavier.  Now I'm doing cardio videos on Demand 3 days a week, and walking 2 days.  Use some light weights with the cardio, but I think I'll wait until I lose about 30 more lbs before I start using them faithfully.  Had my first fill today!!  Don't like how I'm feeling.  I have this indigestion in my chest, that started immediately after getting the fill.  Dinner was getting stuck in my throat, but it passed.  Water was making my stomach queezy, but that passed, but I'm still feeling some discomfort in my chest.  It doesn't really hurt, but it's there.  Gonna go to bed and see if I'm better.  Got a 2.5cc Fill.  If I still feel this way by the weekend, will have to go get an UNFILL.
