First post, 3 week appointment
Feb 19, 2014
Well here I am, writing a blog post. At almost 1am. Lying in bed with my cats. BUT! This crazy cat lady is 30lbs lighter! !
I had my first post-op follow up appointment today, 3 weeks out. Incisions are healed and looking good. No intolerances to food. .. yet. And I feel great! Except for the occasional fatigue that knocks me on my ass at random times, like going up a flight of stairs. I feel like i need a damn nap after bringing in some groceries.
I'm down a total of 30lbs. 8 during pre op and 22 since surgery. I'm considered a "lightweight" so I'm very happy with that.
And the most exciting news? ? My diet has been advanced! Praise sweet baby Jesus! I can now enjoy ground meats, mashed veggies, Some cheese, eggs. I made a whole crockpot full of chili, which should last me a few years. I say down for a nice dinner and enjoyed me a few tablespoons of sweet, delicious chili! It was glorious. Tomorrow i may get crazy and try hummus.
All in all it wad a good day and i actually looked forward to stepping on the scale. That doesn't happen often, so i enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to become the new me.
