Well, it's been 15 days since my gastric sleeve surgery and I am down 15 lb. I think in my mind I imagined the weight would just melt off...and for all intensive purposes, it is. I am happy, healing well, and feeling like I have more energy. I didn't weigh myself before the preop diet, but am pretty sure I lost some weight doing that as well...
There is a guy at my daughter's cheerleading gym who had the surgery (in the states) 1 week prior to my surgery...almost to the date. He is constantly comparing his weight loss to mine and I find it very frustrating. I wish he would just worry about himself because it makes me feel bad...I guess he has already lost like 42 lb or something.
I have been cooking dinner for my family but usually not able to eat what they're eating (or most of it, anyway) but have been having difficulty with portion control. I just have to get it through my head that even less than what I think, is really what I can eat. I'm not trying to sabotage and have even taken to measuring, but the fact is, I just can't eat that much. I think tonight I will measure out half of what I have been measuring, and that way I can eat a little and still feel satisfied without over doing it-- Dang, it sucks I'm such a good cook! hahaha
In a couple more weeks I will be able to start working out at the local YMCA and I'm really looking forward to the water classes. I will be the lone 30 year old with all the old ladies....Oh well!
