Well fellow sleevers, I made it to one month post op! The weight is coming off slowly lately but as long as it's coming off, then it's ok. I hope the weight loss speeds up again at some point. Now, I know you are thinking 32lbs is not slow for a month! The loss has slowed down and I'm now averaging 2lbs/week. That's better than I could do on my own so yay.

I am walking and jogging 5 days a week. A huge cold front came in last night so I'm not sure how I'm going to get my jogging in for the next few days. I live in Texas and the weather is labile like my post op emotions. So, we'll see.

I'm still eating purée foods. I normally have cottage cheese, eggs, or ground beef with veggies. I eat 3 'meals a day and protein shakes in between. I rarely feel hungry, which is nice. I don't really care about food like I did before surgery which I'm happy about. I was out of control before surgery. I have been having nightmares about eating junk food which actually wake me up. I really didn't know my food issues were so bad until after I had this surgery. I'm so thankful for this so now I can actually address the emotional issues.

My hormones have been out of control since the surgery. I have had my period twice this month and I'm not supposed to have it at all because of the implant I have. I have pimples now, too. My mood swings are horrible. I should probably just stay away from people all together. I ws told this could take 6 months to balance out. I feel sorry for my husband!

On a happy note, I bought a size large wrap dress and it looks so cute. I looked in the mirror and didn't see a huge fatty which felt awesome. People at work are really noticing my loss now and some have told me I'm shrinking. I just tell them ya! Thanks! And change the subject. I'm not ready, and don't know if I ever will be, to tell people I have had surgery. I'm sure some management knows because they are so curious and all want to know why I took fmla. As long as they mind their own business, I don't care if they know, but I don't want to talk about it.

Well that's pretty much it for the month. Please feel free to ask questions! I'll be on here looking at your posts but I'm going to update my progress monthly now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
