4th week

Mar 22, 2016

I have to say that I am doing very and feeling great. I had my two week visit last week (which was closer to week 3) and the nurse was pleased with everything. I have lost 13% of my body weight. She said at one month they usually see 18% and she doesn't see why I wouldn't be able to reach that. I was moved off of liquids onto soft foods. Since I had my sleeve 6 years ago, I have eaten some chicken and everything has gone down fine. I go back for my one month visit next week. I will be exactly one month post op next Monday, March 28th.

I try not to weigh myself because it messes with my head. Since I am getting weighed at the doctor's office I know how I am doing in that area. I have lost several inches everywhere, I have dropped a jeans size. I've even lost inches in my upper arms because I can try jackets and shirt on that were normally tight and they fit now. 

 Life post-DS isn't that different than before, bathroom wise. Not yet. I am sure it will get more interesting the more food I start adding. But I told the nurse I didn't know what to expect but that I was pleasantly surprised. 

At one month I can start exercising. I walk now but they don't recommend doing anything beyond that.

All in all I have had a very boring recovery and I can say I am very happy about that.
