12 days post op

Well I'm going into my third week. Last week was a very scary week for me. I had a lot of temptations. My worst times seem to be at work. I'm trying to find a way to best handle this. I want to eat more hard foods and I know I'm not ready for that. I also stayed very gassy. I broke down and called the doctor on Friday. I felt like I was abnormal. My patient advocate told me I was fine. I wouldn't be able to eat much and my weight loss may stall. He told me as the weeks go on and the more active I got, I would see the weight drop. I am happy to say that I have lost inches. I wore a pair of jeans and a shirt that was supper tight and I could wear it comfortably. That gives me hope. My husband is the best and he has been a rock. He helps me stay strong. I don't regret my decision one bit. It was in my best interest. The one thing that I can say is that my blood sugar has been awesome. I'm learning to keep it leveled. I thank God for his blessings.

When you are at work you should put a pic of your head on some skinny little bikini body on a beach and tape it to your computer! Use the money you would buy snacks with and put it towards a vacation on that beach!! You didn't have the surgery to sabotage yourself! I am surprised I haven't cheated yet. I have never been able to stick to something this long before..but now I am! I ended up starting soft foods 3 days early because I couldn't take being hungry anymore, problem was I thought I got 4 oz of softs, but it was really 2 1/2...so for 3 days I ate 1.5 oz too much at a time, but really who cares, it was only 1.5 oz...If you have to chew, chew on ice or jello.
