5/12/09 Post-Op Visit, Diet, Wii Fit
I went for my 3 week post-op visit yesterday. I'm finally off that crazy clear liquids and skim milk 450-calories-a-day-makes-you-shaky-and-weak-diet. They changed their plan and now there's no pureed foods stage so I'm cleared for the lifetime diet and exercise. I'm a little confused as the new plan was 1/2 page of suggested foods, no amounts, timing, details. I've decided to take it slow and start off with purees then move to regular foods if I do alright. They showed a weight loss of 16 pounds, which doesn't jive with what I'd been tracking (more like 10 since surgery), but the total is all that counts and I'm now over 30.
I also got cleared for exercise so I broke out the new Wii Fit and watched as my cute little Mii I created ballooned up to look like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show and then yelled at me "That's OBESE!"...nice to know...like I didn't have enough body image problems! Then after taking some balance tests it berated me with "You're unbalanced! Do you often find yourself falling down and tripping over your own feet?" Yes, I'm officially an obese clutz. I can hardly wait to get back on today.
