3 weeks and 2 days out

Aug 19, 2009

ok, so i'm being a little slack keeping everyone updated...sooo sorry!

so i'm 3 weeks and 1 day post-op and things are going well. i had my first post-op appointment ith my surgeon on thursday. it went really quick...we could have almost done it over the phone and saved my gas!! i suppose he just wanted to check my incisions and make sure they were healing well, which they are...they're almost gone! the biggest one, of course, is the most visible. they scheduled an appointment for 9/18 for my first fill. i can't wait! i don't feel much, if any, restriction now, but i'm still watching what i eat. i never knew how much i loved carbs until now!! i think that's the hardest part for me. but, hey, i'm a work in progress and i'm working on me.

yesterday was my first day back to work and i was glad to have a warm reception. several people asked lots of questions about my procedure and what happens next...well, they get to witness what happens next! my surgery hasn't been a secret and i'm always happy to answer an questions anyone may have. i'm also usd to unsolicited opinionism (lol, is that a word?!)...and i have no problem addressing those opinions...we're all entitled, right?

i started walking for exercise in the evening with the ladies from work and it feels great! i also met with a personal trainer yesterday who'll have something written up for me by the end of the week. just hoping to add a little variety to the exercise routine to keep me from getting BORED!!

oh well, this is enough for now i suppose...i'll update with pics soon, but i don't think there's a real difference yet. i've been fluctuating between 10-13 lbs down, 15 was the highest. it's intersting, i went straight from liquids to solid food, per my nutritionist, of course, so i attribute those couple of lbs to that...but no worries because i'm back to a regular exercise routine so i know the weight will start to fall off soon enough!!!

happy losing ladies!!! and gentlemen :-)
