7 weeks in!!!

Mar 05, 2010

Wow....7 weeks since my surgery.  I can't believe it!!! Time really does fly!!!  

I really don't have any  major complaints or issues. Thank God!!!  All is well, and I'm starting to notice my weight loss!!!  Yesssssssssssss!!!!

According to my scale at home I'm down another 4.5 lbs, which makes for a grand total of 25 lbs pre and post-op . I don't record that in my log as a weight loss. I count it when I go to Dr. Liao for follow- ups.

I have discovered a few interesting things however, like.....if I over eat or I eat too fast, it comes right back up, sometimes I'm not sure if I am full or not, and if I think about food too much I want to eat, even though I might not necessarily be hungry.  There are times when I feel very hungry and others when don't.  
Soft foods are not a real problem.....however, I tried deli turkey yesterday and needless to say it didn't stay down, so I tried it again today and the same thing happened again. after the third try I figured out how to keep it down.....I ate 1/2 a slice very slowly waited about 10 minutes and then ate the other 1/2.

I have had the same issue with rotisserie chicken, but I notice a lot of bandsters say they have trouble with chicken....jeez I wonder what would happen with other meats like....steak, pork, or even veal for that matter.

I am getting a little bored with what I can eat at this point and especially since I am a great cook and I love to eat........this is posing a little difficultly for me.

I can't wait to eat some pancakes!!!  One of my favorite breakfast foods!!! Yum O!!!

The nutritionist says I should wait a least 6 months before eating bread, rice, pasta, or even pancakes because these foods tend to swell in the port and could get stuck. 

Soooo....I figure since that falls right around the time of my B-Day .....what better present to give myself but some really banging pancakes!!!.... Bariatric friendly of course!!!.... I already have 3 recipes!!!  

Anyway that's pretty much it....7 weeks in, and all is well....losing weight, feeling good, seeing a difference, hey what more can I ask for!!!
