My six week follow up

Feb 11, 2011

Good check up today.  Think it was a gall bladder attack.  I do not want to have another surgery just yet, but I don't want to have really bad pain and scare everyone either.  From what I understand, that can happen and quick.  So, for right now, I want to get out until July if possible.  That will give me time to heal.

Ok...drumroll please....I lost 11 lbs in 3 weeks and 3 days!  So, it is coming off for sure!  I had a funny episode at work.  A patient's parent exclaimed, "Oh, I see you had your baby!"...first of all, physically impossible (no plumbing left) and I think pushing 50 it is a bit late in life...I took it as a compliment, because that means a lot of my belly is GONE FOREVER!!!!  I did find out later that another staff involved in care, DID have a baby and this caretaker must have been confused on who was pregnant...but she STILL noticed I was a lot smaller!

My husband has been good support.  He sees that this lifestyle change will have a positive impact on the rest of the family.  He has given up nightly ice cream!  Only until now (50) has he become overweight.  He was one of those skinny kids growing up.  My 17 year old, who started to plump out like I did is even watching her intake.  She has cut out sugary drinks and lost about 10 lbs since my surgery.  Maybe my changes will have a good impact on the rest of the family as well.

Next follow up will be in six more weeks.  In the meantime, I will continue onward~!  I will periodically post my scale's weight.  There is still about 4 lbs different from first thing in the morning and then an afternoon appointment while fully dressed....

Later!
