Walking on Sunshine.. and smaller feet!

Today I went to my post op visit. I am 12 days post op and down 20lbs from start weight on Pre Op diet!!!

 

I am so excited! The scale has NEVER moved backwards 20lbs. I was never one to gain and lose weight. I just steadily gained. My doctor said I was doing very well and being very compliant. He did tell me he did the plication pretty snug so to make sure I take it slow when eating.

 

They also told me to speed up my walking a bit and go a bit further. He wants me to walk for a half an hour for exercise 5 times a week.

 

They changed my diet today. For the rest of today and tomorrow I am on full liquids. Starting Friday I can have mushy food. YAY refried beans here I come!

 

So my clothes are not looser on me. However, my hands and feet are losing or at least lost swelling from water weight. My shoes are loose and I am now able to turn my rings on fingers without it hurting. My daughter says she can see the weight loss in my face but I cannot see it anywhere yet.

 

I am encouraged and very happy right now. At this time I am going to start weighing only once a week. I am sure like most I have been a little obsessed with that and weighing every day.

 

Hopefully, with hard work, the scale will continue to move backwards.

Aww Thank you!

Yeah I cant believe my shoes are shrinking. Although when I think about it.. I was a size 7 1/2 shoe in High school. I have been wearing size 9 1/2.

Its funny how little things are popping up like that. I havent changed so much all at once since I was 13! LOL
