3 Weeks Out

I decided to move my blog to this location.  This was actually written on June 1st.

I had my RNY gastric bypass 3 weeks ago today. If it were not for the tiny little scars, I would not believe they did the surgery and re-routed my insides. I have had no ill side-effects and generally feel very well. I am averaging a 1 pound/day weight loss. Most of my weight loss has been in my face, neck and boobs. The fat's just sliding on down.  With any luck, it will slide all the way off and not get stuck on my butt and thighs. 

I rarely feel real hunger. I am occassionally experiencing head hunger though. When I don't have much to do, I find myself looking to graze. My solution to this is to find something to clean and/or have some sips of water. No harm can come of this habit. I'll finally have a skinny ass and a clean house. Who knew that was even possible???

I am currently on the pureed stage of the WLS diet. My favourite meal so far was salt-reduced, canned ham and Fat-free Miracle whip put through the food processor. I am not very adventurous yet about trying new foods. I'm in no rush at all.
I am absolutely in love with Oikos non-fat plain greek yogurt. It is so high in protein and is yummy.

I feel truly blessed that I was able to have this surgery. I am looking forward to being around for my son and finally enjoying all the activities that a healthy body will allow.
