A friend of mine just text me, asking about an update on my blog. I decided to go ahead and write, but the truth is, I don't have much of an update for you today. This past week has gone by smoothly. I had one episode of digestive upset. Note to self: don't take liquid calcium. It was so hard on my new tummy! I ordered some chewable Calcium Citrate from Bariatric Advantage....I am not taking any more chances on other brands. Unfortunately, I have become scale obsessed. I can't help but weigh myself every morning to see what's happening. It's so exciting! I am down 21 lbs as of this morning. I can see it in my face. I looked in the mirror and said "Wow, I am getting my face back!" My t-shirts are noticeably loser on me, pants are maybe a teeny, tiny bit looser. The other thing I noticed is that my cankles are going away. I actually have an ankle now! Woohoo!
So that's all I have to update for now. Tomorrow or Friday I will have much more to say, as I get to try new foods. Yay! Here is a list of the new foods I can add to my diet: reduced-fat peanut butter, tofu, bananas, low-fat refried beans, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs that are mashed to the consistency of egg salad, yogurt. I cannot wait to have a banana with peanut butter!
On an ending note, I have to say that I am so thankful that I made the decision to have surgery. I have no regrets, and I believe that my recovery has been nothing short of a miracle. All thanks and glory goes to God for His presence and healing touch during this time.
Love, Peace and Joy,
Rachel
