1 week post op

Well today was my one week anniversary from having the gastric bypass.  As usual I weighed myself and walah...another 4 lbs lost...so for the last 3 weeks total weight loss (includes the two week preop liquid diet) is 29 lbs.  I decided I would also do my measurements again to see where I stood on that end.  I was tickled pink..I knew I felt lighter and my skin felt different in places and my totals come up to me losing 8 1/2" from my body...I was jumping for joy ..ok not jumping literally but emotionally I was. 

I have been reading some of the stories and blogs and some scare me and some encourage me greatly.  I am realizing more and more its all based on each individual and set of doctors...because it seem there are a few similarities in diets and restrictions etc but then allowances seem to really differ per physicians.  What I find amazing though is the differences that some people are having at the same post op days out etc....but trying to not get discouraged or regret what I have done...I basically had no choice but just have to take this journey day by day and pray to God that it leads me into the life I have always wanted for myself and my family. 

I hope that along the way during my journey I can provide some help or advise that may help someone else struggling.  Its all a learning process and well I hope that everyone is willing and able to help one another...SO looking forward to making friendships on here and making those life changes together.  :)
