Week Two....

Jul 26, 2010

I'm feeling great this week. My 5 little incisions are doing great, although they do itch like heck sometimes.

I went back to the gym today which felt great!  I did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine getting my heart rate up to 155. I did some weights afterwards but went very carefully. I normally do six different machines but did only 3 today with increased reps on those. I thought it went well but I am sore today. Glad to be back at it though.

The weightloss has slowed from 2 lbs a day last week to about a pound every other day. This caused me some stress at first but I have started writing everything down that goes in my mouth and this helped me to see that I need to trust the surgery and follow my instructions(which I have been doing so really these fears were irrational) and not worry about instant results.

I am almost up to 80 g of protein through shakes and really enjoy the Designer Whey vanilla. I will probably continue to use it the most since it hasn't made me gag at all. I have started with a few pureed foods, mostly i like to mash up cottage cheese into a paste, once I got crazy and added a few drops of mild salsa. It was delish! I tried pureeing a chicken sausage and that was a no go, too spicy for now. I will try it later. Chicken itself does pretty well pureed but mostly I just stick to cottage cheese.

Well, this was my two week update, everything is going smoothly and I feel good. Can't wait to see what week 3 holds.
