Wow.

So it is post op Day 6 and I am already down a total of 20 pounds from my highest weight during my 6 month pre-op supervised diet.  If I'm just counting the pounds lost from my surgery date, I'm down FIVE, but I also weighed 235 before surgery and 244 after, so technically I re-lost 9 pounds (of fluids) this week plus an extra 5.  However you see it, I personally see the number on the scale: 230.2 and am amazed.

Last night I suggested we go out to eat -- somewhere that has soups I can eat.  So we hit Ichiban and I got egg drop soup.  I barely ate much before I was full but it was damn good!  A nice change to eating at home every meal when I was so used to eating out all the time.  So it was a treat, for sure and as Rich called me, "a cheap date" since my meal was only $3.50.

I forgot to go on a real walk or two yesterday, so I am going to make it up today.  I woke up early this morning with a mild headache that I couldn't shake, so I got up and took a half dose of my liquid Lortab and eventually it dissipated and I slept.  I woke up with the same headache, though, but my abdomen feels even better than yesterday.  I am going to get some water in and see if that helps my headache -- I can't imagine that I'm dehydrated as I've been doing well on getting fluids in.
