This is the end of week 5 after the surgery. I had a hard time with the pre-surgery diet. Hated it. I think because I was still cooking awesome meals for the family and having to enjoy broth, but having the surgery was worth it. I was close to 300 pounds when I had the surger on 09/08. Today, I am close to 260. I am really happy, but I am disturbed. My scale has not moved at all in about 2 weeks. I am sure it is trying to catch up with the massive weight loss. I am drinking my protein drinks. Eating correctly. I exercise daily. I have had no period since the surgery, but I took a pregnacy test and thank goodness, I am not pregnant. Urgh!
I was excited to put on pants today that I bought a size smaller and did not realize that I should have gone down another size. I hate trying on clothes when I shop. I guess I am going to have to start trying on clothes.
I am also excited that I no longer am the person who is continuously asking for the air to be turned down. I actually have the chills most of the time. I love being cold. I can put on a long sleeve shirt or wear a sweater. It is so much better than trying to figure out how to get cool.
My husband will have his surgery 11/9. I hope his experience is as good as mine.
