I've had a couple things that I've been dealing with relating to my recovery that I wanted to address. One thing that I noticed today is that now that I'm "chewing" more, I've also been accidentally chewing my lip (numb part) which has resulted in a blister. Now that I'm attempting to chew I found it very odd. I think part of the reason is because my back teeth don't meet correctly yet.
Another issue that I haven't really address is my weight loss since surgery. As of a couple weeks ago I had lost almost 10 pounds, but I haven't weighed myself since then. (Side note: use the scale at the gym, but feel guilty for going in just to use the scale. :D) At first I didn't notice the weight loss, I mean, five pounds is nothing really. But now my weight loss is to the point that people notice and have been bringing it up. I mean come on, what can I do about it now? I still can't eat whatever I want, it's not like I put myself on a diet to loss the weight, it's just part of the process.
I've been petite my whole life, but thankfully after puberty my lower body became a little more curvacious. Bottom line: I miss my butt, it was my best assest and I want it back!! Plus, I don't like seeing my bones, eww gross. I'm already planning on eating anything and everything once I'm cleared. I do want to do it gain my weight back in a health way, I just hope I don't loss anymore. I'm planning on weighing myself again soon and I'll let you guys know what the verdict is.

Hey. Chick looking good but what in the world is In that last pic? Can you drink boost or ensure to gain the weight back?
ReplyDeleteThe last pic has some steaks my dad had cooked that I couldn't eat. :( I drink boost sometime, but it's not the same. We'll see what happens.
DeleteOMG, I can't help but laugh and agree with you! I also lost a lot of weight in my (ahem) derriere. None of my pants fit me, and even though I bought a pair that does fit me, the lack of "padding" makes them look like they don't fit right. I'm sure that in both our cases it'll come back just as soon as we're able to bite down on food properly!
ReplyDeleteThanks Adrienne! We will have to keep each other updated on our derrieres. Lol.
DeleteI couldn't agree with you more! I never really had a tushie to begin with, but I'm missing my other... assets from this. :(
ReplyDeleteAs for weight loss, the boost made me lose weight instead of gaining; then again, I was 157 a day before surgery, and am now at 130. Totally happy about that.
