One month out...

Apr 11, 2010

Well, I'm just over a month out now and down a total of 53 pounds (29 before surgery, 24 since).

I've lost 24 pounds in a month- that is really pretty danged awesome! It look me 4 months to lose the 29 before surgery. This is so much easier!

At first, I swear it felt like I hadn't had a surgery at all. It wasn't like I felt hungry, but I never felt full either. Boy, has that changed! I guess my nerves in my pouch must be healed up enough to tell me when I'm doing something wrong. And it does. Often! I finally am on "soft foods"...Hallelujah! I had a very hard time with the pureed diet. Pureed food just grossed me out SO much. It was easier just to stick with full liquids or just not eat at all. Not good.

I've been feeling very passive about my surgery lately. Like I have very little do with what's going on in my body. I need to take a more active role! I've been walking, but I need to kick up the exercise too.

I really need to work on eating more. Not necessarily portion sizes- I can eat 2 oz pretty easily most of the time and sometimes 4 depending on what it is. But I don't eat often enough. Getting in my liquids is a daily struggle, but I'm going to strive to do a little bit better every day!

Oh hey, guess what? I can cross my legs now!! :)
