Tia and I had our 3 week post-op check up on Monday. Everything is great. Tia's infections are cleared up, our tiny tummy wounds area healing well and our energy levels are great.
Dr Lauter cleared us to begin eating solid food again! WooHoo! We still need to chew everything extensively and only little bites, but at least it's a start.
Our weight is only creeping down at this pont, which is kind of depressing. Believe it or not, it's because we're eating too little. On days that we eat more (700-800 calories) we actually lose better! The other challenge that has a dramatic effect on things is getting in all of our water in. It's mainly a timing thing, but also just getting used to always always drinking or eating.
The other big milestone is that we're up to walking a mile a day! That may not sound like much, but it's huge for us. Heck, I used to drive to the end of the cul de sac just to get the mail! Another side benefit of the walking is that it really helps with digestion after dinner.
Still no regrets at all. Unlike diets, we know this will work. It's just a matter of time. Tia, by the way, is looking great. You can really see her weight loss! We'll post some one month out pictures next week.
