5 1/2 weeks - Post Op

Jul 19, 2010

Sheesh! Time is flying by. I have been pain free for about 12 days now!!  YAY!!  I thought for sure there was something wrong with me.  I went back to work last tuesday and feel great except for the fact that I have to get up so darn early.  I got used to sleeping in!  So far, I have lost 26 lbs.  I'm happy with what I've lost, but also a teeny tiny discouraged because it seems a few of my online support friends had their surgery AFETR me and have lost MORE weight than me!  What gives?  But, it all comes down to we're all different I suppose.  I did drop a clothing size.  I'm down to a 22 and in another 10 lbs should be in a size 20.  People are starting to notice the weight loss in my face.  Life is good.  I am eating all foods except for hotdogs and hamburger patties that just don't go down the right way.  I have not "dumped" as of yet.  I have had things with a little sugar like a graham cracker and regular peanut butter.  I have completely stayed away from any sweets cause I'm too scared of that dumping thing.  My sister knows a girl who had gastric bypass and when she went through the dumping thing the first time, she called 911 on herself.  Kinda funny.  But, kinda not too.  I have been doing some walking but not every single day for miles like I should be.  More like 3-4 times a week for 1-2 miles.  At least it's something, but I do need to step it up since I'm feeling so much better.  My house is surrounded by "Mission Trails" where there are a hundred different trails in the surrounding area.  That's all the exciting things going on right now!
