Post op week 4

Okay so i'm a bit late on posting.... I've been busy launching some new stuff for my photography company, keeping up with class assignments ect.

But anyways good news is that I have lost 50lbs in the last 4 weeks woo hoo....which feels amazing. I had a soft baked potato last night which tasted amazing... and I tried to have a salad today which probably wasnt the best idea cuz I got super sick but in general I'm doing really good with eating and keeping things down okay.

Oh Almost forgot .... so steve tells me this year he wants to go to his family reunion which is in like 2 weeks I was hoping to talk him out of it till next year when I look better but doesnt look like I'm winning the argument, so now I have to decide whether I should just suck it up and hope they dont judge me based on my weight or not meet his family and just stay home but wondering if that might look really rude that I didnt come and everyone else did... ughhhhh

3 Weeks Post Op

Yay so I'm 3 weeks post op and already have lost 41lbs.... I'm down to 380 woo hoo. I was able to try soft food today so I tried mashed potatoes but ughhh it hurt so I decided I'm gonna stick to my liquids for another 3 weeks, Im comfortable with the simplicity of it and the lightness I feel with it. When I ate I just felt heavy again

I cant write much this week because I'm juggling so much with work, school and family but just wanted to update that life is great and I'm doing well!!!

2 Weeks Post Op

So today marks two weeks since my surgery......

I'm healing great I actually feel back to normal. My wounds are almost all healed up, only the drain port area is sore. I feel very blessed to be doing so well so quickly.

But I think the hardest part is mentally changing my diet.... Chicken broth, beef broth, yogurt BLAHHHHH So much blandness and no crunchiness is driving me insane. I crave seasoning! lol but I have to constantly remind myself its all worth it. I am slightly scared though I can eat more than 1/4 cup of broth and they say u should feel full with 1/4 but I never get a full feeling, so a lot of times I make a cup and I slowly eat it, although I don't feel full I just cut myself off that thats enough. So I wonder if there is some type of imbalance that my brain doesn't register the full feeling. When I see my doctor at the end of the month I might ask her about it... oh I also have a dietitian meeting this week so maybe I could ask her to about it....

On a brighter note I'm at 390 now, soo woo hoo thats 31lbs in 2 weeks! That sounds like a lot but every day I look in the mirror I dont see it yet and the frustrating for me I wanna see it right now... I wanna drop like 100lbs tomorrow... but it all takes time... I'm gonna pray a little harder that God helps me thru these times where its mentally and emotional more difficult.

Well until my next blog, Take Care
