Week 5 Post Surgical Update
It’s hard to believe it’s been a little more than five weeks since I had surgery. I went for a follow up visit a week ago and was a little bummed to find that I hadn’t lost any additional weight. (I hadn’t gained any either, thankfully.) See, I’d started being a little hungry. The surgeon told me that I was in a place he calls Lap band hell, and that once I had my first fill I’d be in a better place. Interestingly enough, even though I hadn’t lost any weight I have noticed things seem to be redistributing - I can see my feet, my ankles aren’t always swollen, my socks don’t leave deep lines on my legs and my work shirt is looser in the arms and chest. And, for the first time in years I can wear a 2X tee.
Now I’m still getting a bit hungry and want to eat. I don’t want to eat like I used to before surgery. But I do want to eat more than I should be. I don’t think I’ve lost anything again this week. My first fill is Thursday. I’m looking forward to it. (That way I don’t have to start reading some diet pill reviews, LOL.)
I’m still tender in the belly and still have some discomfort at times but I’m ready to exercise. I’ll be riding the exercise bike every day starting today.
