1 Week Post-Op

May 04, 2010

 Hello! I'm writing in to report my weight loss for the first week post-op. Though I wish I would have weighed myself the day I got home, I just didn't have the strength. 

So! On to the numbers. The day I started my liquid diet, I weighed 308.4 pounds. Yikes! Two days ago, I decided to weigh myself (I couldn't stand the suspense) and found that I'd lost 16 pounds. Today, one week post-surgery, I weighed myself and found that I'm at 290.3. I've lost 18.1 pounds since the liquid diet, and even more crazy to me, I've lost over two pounds in two days! I couldn't be happier with the results.

I've been doing wonderfully with my diet. I've been eating ricotta cheese, yogurt, sugar free fat free pudding, sugar free popsicles, and trying to get all that protein in! I recently tried Crystal Light On-The-Go Lemonade and Pink Lemonade- yummy! I never liked their teas or fruit drinks, but I love these and I'm willing to try the others again. I'm going to try cottage cheese soon, and I'm nervous but excited to eat something that needs a bit of chewing.

Good luck to everyone, and I hope you have a great week!

Alex
