2 Weeks

Well, I'm 2 weeks post op and down 17 pounds.  I'm thrilled and terrified that as soon as I feel better I'll just eat too much and gain my weight back!
It dawned on me that we didn't take a "Before" picture before the surgery so I made Mike snap one yesterday.

Yikes........frumpy and looking pregnant in that last one!  I have five laproscopic slits in my belly now....hopefully my belly will deflate.

2 weeks of liquid left me wanting nothing but something to chew.  Now I can chew....but am full after 4 bites....which is a good thing!
Progress reports every couple of weeks!

And so it begins

This last week has sure been a roller coaster ride through crazy for me!  I spent my last activity before my surgery at a Grease Sing Along with some great friends.  Getting all dressed up 50's style.  I even got to go on stage and start the drag race!  It was a super fun time.

Right before the show we grabbed dinner at Red Robin - a place we can't go with Erik because they sing too loud and it send hims over the edge.  But man those french fries!!  I LOVE them, dipping them in that highly caloric ranch dressing, it was my last solid meal.  And I enjoyed every last bite.

Monday morning I looked like this

 and now I am trying to deal with the 5 incisions in my belly, and a toddler who wants to crawl on me.  Hopefully each day will get better and better.  Right now I am SUPER sore, and just want to crawl into a bed until I heal.  But I know I will heal faster up and moving around....but man, that's not easy!!

Torani and Chobani

I was told by the Dr. to stock up on Torani syrup and Chobani Yogurt since they are great for meals after my surgery. I bought one of every sugar free flavor. Mom and I had a taste test tonight.
Coconut awful by itself, but combined with strawberry it makes a lovely daiquiri yogurt!! I feel like a bar tender, a yogurt bar.
