Week 6 Update

Well there isn't really much to update on.

Weight: 115.8 kg (255.3 lbs)
Total so far:  10 kg (22.05)

So I haven't really lost anything since last week.  I have done a bit more walking and drinking a lot more water.  But it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference.  I do find I'm hungry and ready to eat at least 45 mins before my next meal time (and I'm currently supposed to eat every 2 hrs).  So I think that's a good sign that all the swelling from surgery has gone away and my band is far too loose.  Thankfully on August 12th I am supposed to go back to the surgeon and hopefully he'll do a fill on my band.

The good news is now that it is week 6, I get to eat real food!  Like whatever I can stomach (literally).  So I managed to nibble on some GF egg pasta earlier this week, and last night *drum roll please* I ate rice!!!  Most of you reading probably think, big deal..it's rice.  If you know me, like really know me, you'd know what a big deal that is for me.  I haven't eaten rice in about 8 weeks now.  And rice is by far my favorite thing in the world to eat.  My dad told me when I was a kid "you are what you eat, and someday you're going to turn into a bowl of rice".  lol  And I've read online that many people after surgery can't eat rice or pasta.  Well I was able to eat both!!  Woohoo!!  That might change in 2 weeks once I get my fill, so this weekend we are so ordering chinese!!!  hehehe

Well that's about it for the weekly update.  :)
