Hello there. My name is Jenn (you may know me from my personal blog, 
In less than twelve hours I will be officially seven weeks post-op. Holy crap does time ever fly. I vividly remember being 1-2 weeks out and thinking wistfully of how great it would be to be seven weeks out. And then I’d feel bummed, because seven weeks seemed like such a long time away! But here I am, seven weeks out and I am doing absolutely fantastic. I’m finally feeling back to my old self, which means no more slacking on writing projects about bridal shower games, writing assignments and general sponsored content and product reviews.
So, seven weeks… I can eat normally, even though the portions are teensy, I’m leery of most breads and I don’t even bother trying to eat most beef products, since beef tends to be rather fibrous and stringy. I’ve been keeping in touch with one of the women that was in my pre-op support group, and she’s doing great too. I have to admit, I’m slightly jealous — she’s four weeks old and has lost 30 lbs. I’m seven weeks old and am “only” down 34 lbs.! Pfft, what’s up with that?*
* I’m kidding. I know that everyone loses weight at their own rate!
I’m still having inadequate protein issues, but I hope to order some protein shots either this week or next week, so that should definitely solve that problem!
