Well , I made it thru the 2nd week relatively unscathed. I wish I'd taken measurments before I started this , but I didn't even think about it. I see the doctor tomorrow for my first post-op, so I'll have the "official" pounds lost then, and I'll be able to balance my scale against his, and see how far off they are. My appointment is at the end of the day so I can go right home and weigh again on my scale. By my scale, as of this morning, I'm down 14 pounds. This 2nd week has been so hard...I don't have much restriction in my band, and I've been hungry a lot. I am also having trouble finding the point where I'm full, before I get too full. It's hard when you're just having soup...hopefully that'll be better when I get on solid food again.
On a positive note, I had to buy a belt!!! It's a 2x belt, and it will only go to the very first hole, but I have a belt!! I'm in that awkward spot between sizes...the size I've been wearing is really too big, and the next size down is not quite comfortable yet. So...I wear a belt. I got one with lots and lots of holes, so I can wear it forever. I'm so excited! I probably haven't worn a belt in about 15 years.
I've also found a ton of friends from high school, who have come out of the woodwork on Facebook, who have been through either bypass or banding. They have been so supportive, as have my AOL friends. I can't begin to say how much I appreciate that!
Ok, I think that's all for now...I really need to go clean the kitchen. Ugh!
