One Week Post- Surgery: Some Early Returns

Today is my one-week post op date. I weighed myself this morning and I am down 9 lbs from a week ago, around 17 total from when I started the pre-op diet. I know that's a really great rate of weight loss and had I done it using more traditional methods it would have taken longer...but I still don't really feel it. That might be because I'm still not feeling 100% yet, and eating baby food has started to wear on me....so I'm finding myself a little down from time to time.

I want to see that this was worth it, even though I know it was.

My husband sees it in these pictures and I guess I do a little bit, although I also wanna blame some of the difference on my hair cut and the post-surgical binder around my waist (not the white band under my sweater). It holds things in where they need to be and feels nice.

But overall I'm sure the bariatric staff will be happy with how I'm doing and my progress so far. One this is for sure, I'm following the rules to the letter.
