6 Weeks Post Op

Jul 06, 2010

I am feeling good! Just stepped on the scale and could not believe I had dropped another 6 lbs! 37 lbs in 6 weeks. Wow.

We spent the 4th of July weekend with family at my parents lake home in WI. We had a blast - lots of laughing, swimming, fireworks, card playing and relaxing. I stayed away from any food prep and simply focused on making my simple meals while everyone else ate the normal holiday fare. I did not feel deprived! I thought I might...but I managed.

I did throw up, for the first time since surgery, on Saturday afternoon. We were out on the lake swimming and I had an afternoon snack of 1 beef stick and 1 piece of string cheese. This is a snack I have had several times over the past few weeks. Within 5 minutes of finishing, I had the foamies big time and had to retch over the side of the pontoon - twice. I felt much better once I threw up. I think I may have eaten too fast? Or, the snack just hit me wrong that day. I did not feel well when we got back to the house and had major loose stools. Then, I napped for an hour and felt much better. But, it kind of wiped me out. Needless to say, it will be awhile before I have a beef stick or string cheese again.

Oh Yeah! And, according to the BMI calculator, I am no longer Extremely Obese. I am simply Obese :-)

Now, onwards to the 2 month post op mark :-)
