Two Week Post-Op (Dietitian)

Apr 21, 2009

I had my two week post op appointment a day early and I have some great news. I’ve lost 23 lbs!!!! Yes, 23 lbs gone forever!!! Also my BMI is now at 43.7. Talked to Julie my Dietitian and she moved me to Stage II foods, so now I can have eggs, cheese, tuna, salmon, beans, mashed potatoes and some other things.  It feels so nice to finally have some substance, since for the last four weeks I’ve been on only liquids. She also gave me the ok and paperwork to start on Stage III foods starting on Monday. 

I’m truly amazed at myself and how I’ve handled this process. Though I've had some ups and downs during my pre-op, I'm proud of myself for sticking with it. It’s a learning experience and will take some time but I’m so happy that I had the Lap Band Surgery and I feel that it’s going to be the tool I need to loss and keep myself at a healthy weight.

I’m also going to go back to work on Monday (I hope). I find as I’m sitting here at home, that I’ve getting depressed. I don’t have anything against people who stay home but it’s SOOOOOO not for me. I'll wrote more later!
