Week 6! I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since my gastric bypass surgery. The time has flown by! I had a little mishap yesterday, and I'm looking & feeling rough today so I decided not to do an actual video this week.
Week 5 Update: I have tried every which a way to upload my week 5 video and short of standing on my head, it's just not happening. So here's the short of it... Week 5, I lost 4.8 lbs to total -38.
Week 6 Update: On Thursday 2/24/11, I went for my first follow up appointment with my surgeon, Dr. McNatt & my Nutritionist, Amber Norris. Oh it went GREAT :o) Much better than I had expected actually. McNatt said that I'm doing great, he wants me to keep measuring all my food and gradually start to eat up to 1/2 cup of food at a meal. (I'm eating about 1/4 cup right now.) My incisions are looking good... but I may be allergic to the glue they used to seal my incision- the scar looks good but around it is abnormally dry. Weird.
OH! I've lost -40 lbs total. They were VERY pleased!
My meeting with Amber, my nutritionist, went great too. Nothing new really. She gave me some more samples of Calcium to try (b/c that's the hardest thing for me to take.) Amber went over my food journal and basically said that I was doing great and following all the rules and... that's why I was doing so well :o) Yay!
I'm so glad everything has went well from the WLS. I think I know your nutritionist. Went to high school with an Amber Norris & think that is what she does. Small world if so:)
