On Christmas I celebrated with my family, and finally put things to the test a bit more: throughout the day I ate lots of potato chips with dip, tortilla chips with guacamole dip, bacon wrapped asparagus, various pieces of chocolate, egg salad, and finally cupcakes for dessert. I waited nervously for bad results and a dash to the nearest bathroom, but it never came.
So far it seems as though I am one of the truly lucky ones who can eat just about anything without negative effects. I feel incredibly fortunate and am counting my blessings!
Next week I will really test it out by having a cheeseburger and some fries. I’ll get it as take out and eat it at home, just in case!
Physically, I feel pretty much back to normal. I’ve doing my morning workouts and evening jogs on my treadmill with little trouble. It’s still a wee bit sore around my belly button incision when I start hopping around, so I’m still taking things kind of easy, but I expect that problem will go away soon.
I have continued to lose weight, and since surgery two weeks ago I have lost 8 pounds. I’m hopeful that I won’t encounter the problem of sudden and uncontrollable weight gain down the line, as many on the internet have complained about.
My next post will probably be at the 1 month mark, unless something noteworthy happens in the meantime.
