11 Days Post Surgery

Dec 19, 2009

It's 11 days after my surgery.  I've lost 13 pounds so far.  This is all still so unbelievable and exciting.

I had a follow-up with my doctor on December 16th, and everything is going fine so far. 

My first fill is scheduled for January 6, 2010.  I can't wait. 

I've done better in the past 11 days than I've done in the last 9 years.

The doctor says my ideal weight is about 145 pounds.  I'm really not interested in getting that small.  I think that's too thin.  Personally, I'd like to be around 175 pounds.  Just thick... not fat.

My sister and I went to IHOP this week for dinner.  All I ordered was a bowl of grits and 1 egg.  I couldn't eat it all.  I ate less then half of it.  My doctor says my appetite will slowly come back between now and the first fill. 

I'm going to a Saints/Cowboys party tonight.  The restaurant sells gumbo, so that will be my meal for the evening. 

I hope you all have a great weekend.
