※10 days out... and 50lbs GONE!※
So today I am officially ten days out. How am I feeling? Well the soreness is dying down, I am able to get up and out of bed with ease, and I can drive!!! I know I am still healing but its nice to almost feel normal for a change. Yesterday was the first day I got dressed and left the house. It was nice but I think I over did it. I was really sore when I got home and BEAT.
So yesterday was a victory of all sorts. When I started my journey to sleevesville I promised myself that I would not be obsessed with the scale. I know of many people who weigh themselves everyday and I am not going to do it! So needless to say I have not weighed myself since surgery, so when I went to my folks house my sister really wanted to get me on the scale. So here we go..... 361! Which means I have lost 19 lbs from surgery and 51 lbs overall! WHOA!
I am a little skeptical, however my sisters scale has never been real off from the doctors scale so thats pretty good! Next Friday is my official post op appointment so I am eager to see what his says. The change is starting to really be physically noticeable. I wish I had a looking glass into 4 months from now because I am dying to know what is underneath all this blub!
Onto the next topic, the luxurious post-op diet. So since I am in the first two weeks of this I am still on liquids. I can 100% say that I am SO tired of them! I caved and did eat a fluffy egg (Milk +Egg scrambled). It was so good. Yesterday I had a jonesing for Campbell's tomato soup... yummy! It was a nice subtle change of pace! Hopefully when I have my doctors appt. he will release me into purees and softy foods. Which I'm sure will be wwwooonndddeeerrfulll!!!!
Hopefully this weekend I will start posting some before and after journey photos. I kind of wish I took some full body shots when I first started this journey back in July. CRAZY.
Anyway, thank you everyone for your continuous support!! Its amazing and I feel so lucky!!!
