So, Christmas is much closer than I thought and with that comes going back to work. January 4th I will be back at my desk! It is hard to believe that it has been 5 weeks since surgery...it literally feels like days.
I am learning new habits every day. No major issues still, however I did have my first significant "stuck" issue last night. It was my first time going out to dinner and I ate broiled chicken. I am not sure if I ate too fast, if my pouch didn't agree with blackened chicken or what but it was more than unpleasant. It was stuck for nearly an hour before it finally came up. When it did, it was INSTANT relief! Ugh...never want that to happen again.
I am still surprised at what my diet consists of as I never would have guessed that these sorts of things would appeal to me. Boca Burgers, turkey meatballs, Babybel Light cheese with saltines, creamed soups are all on the menu. Interesting to say the least...
I haven't been on the scale since my 2 week visit but I am certain I am getting smaller. I am trying to focus more on my size than the number of pounds. I am wearing a pair of jeans that were tight before surgery and I can pull them down without unbuttoning them with ease! Shocking!
I see the nutritionist on Monday for my 6 week follow up and a weigh in is part of that appointment. We shall see.
I also decided that I am going to take a picture of myself every 2 months so I have a good record of the loss. See you next week (with pics)!
