I can’t believe my weight his morning! It’s a 10 pound loss since surgery. It’s been a relatively smooth week for me. The pain is gone; I am eating well; I am never hungry; and I am walking 2 miles daily. I did not expect to be at this point a week ago.

This morning I also had my 1 week post-op visit to the Summa Bariatric Center. Dr. Z was out of the office, and I saw Dr. Dan. He tells me that I look great and can resume the treadmill on a slow pace this week. By the end of next week, he thinks I should be able to run if I want.

Robin the dietitian says I am progressing well on the diet. The good news is that she believes I can shorten the full liquids by up to a week. This Saturday, I will begin introducing soft fruit like ripe melon, soft fish and scrambled eggs into my diet. I so look forward to having grilled salmon.

After my appointment, I stopped at Wal-Mart and bought a pair of cargo shots and jeans in a 40″ waist. I have been clinching my shorts but they just keep slipping. I never expected to change waist sizes so fast.
