One week post op VSG

Feb 20, 2014

Well it's been a week. I am down 10#. Starting weight 264, surgery weight 255, first week's weight 245. I am amazed. The first place I noticed getting smaller is on my face, getting my cupids bow back! I feel great, a little tired but great. Dermabond came off the first incision yesterday, still holding in 4 spots. Bruising is getting less and less each day. Had dinner out last night. My solution to eating was having a decaf skim latte to sip on while everyone else ate. Food looked delicious but still no sense of hunger. I know I have made the right choice for me. And I feel good about my choice. Going out tonight to see a band. My first night out in a while. I feel confident and excited. I know I have only lost 10# but I feel so much lighter! It is a wonderful feeling.

Keeping up on protein and liquids. I know can't wait to eat normal foods but, I am ok with the liquids. I find warm liquids a great substitute for meal time.

Taking it slow, but am trying to get out daily so that I can walk.
