4 weeks post op 4/27 & wondering...
Okay, I hit my 4 week post op on Wednesday. I snuck on the scale at home and it looks like I have lost 34 pounds. I know that I have gone from a 20/22 to a 16. I am so happy about that! I am a little sad because I don't dump and my goofy pouch seems to be as "iron strong" as my stomach was. (I was hoping for a little more deterrent.****aisionally I get nauseated, but never have gotten sick.
I am worried that I can eat too much. (I had 3/4 of a plain boca burger patty for dinner last night). I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fight head hunger-right now I drink water instead of eating when that happens because I KNOW I am not hungry. Last week my stomach did growl once, boy was I suprised!
I just wonder how everyone else felt at 4 weeks out, is it the surgery catching up with my body or the stress from kids, working 2 jobs (Full time M-F at one then 8-10 hr days Sat & Sun on the other), and still not having any money. Just had a thought, since I had WLS, if I robbed a bank no one would recognize me in another month! (KIDDING).
I am having mood swings and stuff. I got really angry with my family last week because I came home to "What's for dinner?" My hubby is 25, the 4th of 6 kids-I KNOW he can cook. My kids are 14 & 13, surely they can make spagetti or something! Then I felt really bad when they all hung their heads like smacked puppies. I find sometimes I am jealous of people who can "eat normally". Of course I never could eat normally, or I wouldn't have had to have WLS, I realize this, but still feel jealous.
If anyone could provide some insight I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
