Good news, bad news - 5 wks post-op

Start weight: 234.5
Current weight: 205.0
Total lost: 29.5

Good news: I've lost 2.7 lbs (so far) this week.
Bad news: I haven't had a lot to eat.

I saw my doctor on Tuesday the 20th and he was very pleased with my progress. He asked if I had had a fill yet, so I told him about the fill/unfill fiasco. He decided to go ahead and give me a .5cc fill. I ate fine the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday, but on Thursday the problems started. I ate 1/2 of a scrambled egg, 1 slice of crispy bacon, and 1/2 of a slice of wheat toast with jelly. I felt like I was in heaven! I had no problems eating any of that. But lunch Thursday came back up. Dinner came back up. I kept yesterday's oatmeal down, but lunch and dinner came back up, and so did this morning's breakfast. I've decided to go on mushies for the rest of the weekend.

I think I ate too much at lunch Thursday, and that PB lead to some swelling, and I haven't given my body a chance to rest since then. Hopefully, doing mushies will get things under control. I can't believe a little .5 cc fill could make me this tight.

The 2.7 lbs I've lost this week has been entirely lost since Thursday :(

It's an amazing time!
