I am a little overdue for my 2 week update but only by a couple days. It has been CRAZY around here as we are in my husbands one bedroom apartment for 2-3 weeks and then we will move to one of the two bedrooms in the same complex. So, we have been going through boxes and deciding what to unpack and what to wait on and where to put everything for a family of four in this little one bedroom, it has been a bit crazy to say the least!
Now for the important stuff: the weight loss and band! The weight loss is not going to well. I did weigh in on Thursday and I had gained all 10 lbs back, to the last ounce. I was so bummed but honestly I have been eating mashed potatoes and shakes and ice cream a lot. Being that we were on the road for five days I was limited to what I could and couldn't have. There were days in which I was seriously hungry because there wasn't anything around I could eat. I have been trying a few things in the last few days that aren't pureed but I have been focusing on chewing and chewing and chewing before I swallow anything. Since being home I haven't had any ice cream and have tried to limit my carbs as well, though it hasn't been easy since carbs seem to be the easiest to eat right now. To top everything else off I haven't been able to find my blender. We planned on buying the Ninja blender but wanted to wait a little while, unfortunately I was forced to buy it this weekend after we determined that it may have been packed in the storage unit. It will be here on Wednesday!!
As far as the band is concerned I look pretty well healed on the outside, the incisions are doing better and better all the time but the pain on my inside is still pretty bad. There are days that I am fine and other days when I hurt to do anything other then to sit. The doctor said that the pain is normal and will continue off and on for another week or so. I hate this part of it but I am hopeful that it will improve over time.
UPDATE: OMG!!! So, I obviously remembered wrong. I thought that I had gained all my weight back but after updating the numbers (on the right hand side of the blog) I realized that I actually lost 2.2lbs!! I guess I was doing okay after all, though I'm not going back to the shakes and ice cream anytime soon lol!
