Week 1 weigh in.

So, I weighed myself today, and my official week 1 weigh in after the Gastric Bypass surgery came in at a 10 pound loss. Good enough for me! :) I have to say, I was kind of hoping for something a bit more drastic from what I have heard from some others (some have reported 20-30 pounds in the first week. Secretly I was hoping for that..)

But, one thing my nutritionist said was that since I lost 20 lbs in the 2 weeks before surgery, I really lost 20 of the "easy" pounds, meaning all of that excess water weight that comes with the first week(s) of any diet. So, according to that logic, that 10 lbs was all fat!

So hey, I'll take it! That brings the running total to 30 pounds off for good! I must say, I was a bit irritated, because the scale was at 400.9 pounds. Why not one pound less so I could say goodbye to 400 pounds forever?? I think the weight loss gods are trying to irritate me! :) Ah well, next week will be goodbye to 400!
