4 weeks post op

Jul 30, 2012

I am 4 weeks post op today.  Wow what a month.   My first week after surgery I dropped 9 pounds.  I was so happy.  The weight was coming off easily and I was healing really fast.  I weighed myself at week two and week three,  I had not lost anymore weight.  I started to panic.  I felt myself slowly slipping into a depression.  I was convinced I had gone through the surgery for nothing and that I was doomed to be 229 pounds forever .  I was devistated.  I decided to go to a WLS support group during my 3rd week.  Those people were wonderful.  I was not brave enough to talk, but just listening to their stories really inspired me.  I quickly realized that stahs were apart of the game and if I wanted the scale to move it was up to me.  So I made sure my food intake was right on the money...and started exercising.  What do you know????  This morning I am at 224.8.  Success is sweet!  See my doctor in a few days.  We'll see what month 2 holds for me.  Looking forward to it!
