2 weeks post op!

Mar 11, 2011

Yesterday marked 2 weeks post RNY for me! Yea! i'm feeling stronger and a bit more energized every day..  and i've managed to lose another 4.4 lbs this week rounding me out to 20 lbs in a month! its crazy!! i can't believe the progress i've made in such a short amount of time. 
I must admit that the liquid diet was starting to weigh on me but thankfully i reached the week 3 diet! i've also noticed that i'm enjoying cooking quite a bit for my partner. Even though i can't really eat much of what i'm cooking i'm getting major satisfaction from feeding those around me. I'm also finding that my awareness of calories and what's actually in food has exponentially increased and i'm realizing that there are quite a few tasty ways to decrease the fat/calories/sugar in some of my partner's favorite dishes. Considering i'm not working right now, it's been great to learn as much as possible about our nutrition. 
i have to admit that i'm still struggling to get in my protein every day. i'm just starting to add unflavored protein to some of the soft foods i can have now so hopefully that will help. i'm hoping to not have to continue my protein shakes much longer if possible. 
Emotionally i'm also doing much better than last week. i'm continuing to feel optimistic about my surgery and really trying to enjoy the journey as it comes..

Hoping everyone is well and continuing to progress on their goals!!
