My two week check up was on Thursday. According to the scale at the doctors office I was down 16lbs since May 2nd (the beginning of my 2 week liquid diet), so that was nice. My surgeon said that my incisions were healing nicely, and he gave me some good ideas for some mushy foods to eat. I have been having problems even eating things as mild as yogurt. I am having a LOT of gas (burping), so I think my tummy just doesn't know what to do when food gets down there...
Anyway... today is official weigh in day. *drum roll please* 317.7 =) So, down 3 pounds from last week! My surgeon said to expect/aim for 2 pounds/week... so I am very pleased with 3. Just think... even if I did only lose 2lbs/week... that's 104 pounds in a year. THAT'S LIKE LOSING A TEENAGER!!!!! (And let's face it... I'm sure all of us have wanted to get rid of a teenager at some point or another...)
We did some yard demolition today with a little help (okay, a LOT of help) from my Dad. We have been wanting to get rid of some bushes and a few small trees since we bought our house last February (2010), so we finally got to it! We are having the house painted in two weeks, and I can't wait to see it all come together! Added bonus: a pretty good work out for me today, picking up branches and such =)
