2 Week Surgiversary
Oct 24, 2009
OK, so Tuesday was my two week surgiversary and I I am amazed by so many things today.Overall, my post-op journey (so far) has been basically uneventful (minus one day of nausea when I learned I needed to have something in my pouch). Nothing has been difficult to swallow or keep down (even the food I have tried the last couple of days). Not even "uncomfortable". No challenges at all.
The scale is moving. Pretty well for a lightweight (in my opinion - although I know better than to compare to others). I am down to 205 from 16 pounds since surgery in 15 days. Better than I expected, actually. Pleasant surprise.
"Onderland" is within reach. Only 5 more pounds to go. I expect to be there soon. I haven't been there in so many years - I can't even remember the last time.
I had purchased a pair of slacks for work in a smaller size, knowing I would need them "eventually" as I lost weight. Bought them on sale. I figured it would be at least a month after surgery, if not more before I wore them. I wore them to work TODAY. They were not tight at all, and fit rather nicely.
This week was my first week back at work, so today was my 3rd day. I received multiple compliments and questions today (how much weight have you lost?). No one knows about my surgery. Even though I'm down 16 pounds since surgry, I think it LOOKS like more.
I also realized today that I have 7 pounds more to lose to be at the 1/2 way point to my goal. I had lost weight prior to surgery and I can't belive that I am that close to being half way to where I want to be. It's amazing to me.
My face is slimmer, and I found something. I think they're called collar bones!
Sorry for the long ramble. I can't believe the difference I can see in two short weeks. I'll post some updated photos soon.
