So I noticed yesterday that my hunger had increased slightly from the day of the fill. Makes sense, since Karen(Nurse Practitioner) explained that it will likely be 3 fills before I feel optimum restriction for weight loss. That said, I'm eating much less again(around 1300 calories a day the past 2 days) and have lost 5 lbs the past 2 days, equaling a total of 31 pounds now. This is sort of the cycle of the band. Lose a lot of weight, lose a little weight, lose no weight, gain a few pounds, get a fill. Repeat.
6 weeks since surgery and now it's Back to the Bowflex! Did a very light workout yesterday on this cool machine, then hopped on the exercise bike after. Felt great and did not feel any pain in my umbilical hernia. I think exercise is vitally important during this process and for the rest of my life, frankly. I was feeling so down yesterday morning, dealing with both parents struggling with severe health problems. After my workout the mind was stronger and the sadness at a manageable level anyway. Much more effective than 2 meals at McDonald's, then amounts of beer that I now find impossible to consume! Although I do see some wine in my near future:)
