I really can't believe that it has been two weeks since my operation. This time two weeks ago I was still in recovery and apparently chucking my guts out!
My weight loss this week is .9kg so things have slowed after my huge loss last week. I am now 95.6kg and feeling really good. I have no pain, my incisions are healing well and the bruises are fading. My clothes are feeling loose and my bras are fitting so much better. My skin is also looking great - it is amazing what no sugar and crap can do for you.
I returned to work today and had several comments about looking "fresh" and "glowing". It is as though they can't quite but their finger on what is different. Two people also mentioned that they thought I had lost weight.
My daily food is still protein shakes, yogurt and soups. Though today I followed my same day sleeve mate, Stacey and introduced 2 cruskits with cottage cheese for lunch, I also had a scrambled egg for dinner. I am focusing on high protein and sipping water all day to keep my fluids up.
I feel so positive about the direction I am heading, I feel strong and confident that I am changing my life forever.
I love to have good project to work on... whether it be a holiday, renovating, or a craft project. Between juggling all of these things, working a full time job and running a household with two little ones I have managed to forget about myself. My weight, my health and my wellbeing have all suffered..... 2011 is the time to reclaim the real me. This blog follows the progress of my latest and greatest project - "ME" and the journey of having a gastric sleeve.
This is wonderful! That last sentence puts a huge smile on my face!
