Insecure, but better! One Month post-op.
I just took my "One Month post-op" picture and measurements because, yes, it was one month ago today that my life changed!
As-of today, I have lost 32 pounds since surgery. I'm still dealing with insecurity - no one ever told me what the average amount for one month post-op was, so I keep thinking that I haven't lost enough! I know it's crazy, I just can't stop my thoughts from going there!!
I'm eating semi-solid/soft foods for the next 3 1/2 weeks. I have to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone for their food suggestions. The fat-free ricotta and cottage cheese has worked really well. I found out that my new tummy doesn't tolerate beans anymore AT ALL (I had three black beans at dinner last night, and felt like my gut was bursting open).
HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Krystal you are doing great. 32 lbs....WOW!!!!! Just think a month ago you were 32 lbs heavier. So you have really done awesome. I am a month and 1/2, almost, and I have lost 30 lbs. I think my 30 lbs is awesome, too. Go slow on trying new foods. I hope today finds you feeling better. I still think I am not moving fast enough too, but then I have to remind myself that that a month ago I was 30 lbs heavier. Just think of where we will be in 6 months......... I can't wait to see the new me.
