Yesterday was my two week "surgiversary". I hopped on the scale today; another five pounds down for a total of 38 pounds in a month. That's like four bowling balls. Off my ass. Hee.
Things are going well, for the most part. Here's what I've learned two weeks post-op
1. Vitamins are very important; I definitely have noticed a big difference in energy levels on the days I've forgotten.
2. Hormonal changes and mood swings can be pretty vicious, and it's best to just be alone when I feel them coming on.
3. Hormonal changes cause very vivid, very strange dreams.
4. A person can save a LOT of $$ eating only three small meals a day.
5. Starbucks gives iced water for free.
6. Decaf iced tea is much better with lemons.
7. 105 degree weather is a lot easier to handle 38 pounds lighter.
8. My mom is the coolest, bravest, kindest and giving person I've ever met. (Well, I kinda already knew that one but I got several reminders of it in the past two weeks.)
Tonight, I'm going to try adding unflavored protein powder to some yogurt for dinner, and see how that works.
