Post op Dr. appt.

It went very well.  I'm down 25lbs since my first appt with them (17 since surgery) and everything is healing very well.  Now I'm allowed to try soft foods and he said in 4 more weeks I'll be back to my regular diet (minus the crap that is!)  I have been on a short stall..haven't lost anything in 4 days now, but I"m not freaking out.  Not yet anyway.  I know I just need to get to walking, but since the weather has been such crap here its been a little hard. 

Advise from me to you - when you can eat - eat sllllllooooooowwwwww and chew chew chew!! Girl, I have had 3 really bad throw up sessions from eating too fast!! 

Thank you!  I really do not want that to happen.  It's hard to remember to chew, but I'm trying!

congrats on your weight loss and try to keep not obsessing about being in a stall.  this is why i only weigh once a week!

getting on soft food will totally rock!  i felt so much better when i could eat SOMETHING after the first two weeks!!!!!

keep it up!!!  you're doing fabby!

My postop followup will be April 6th. I have actually marked my calendar for Phase III (April 9th), which is when I can start the soft foods! LOL! I looooong to eat SOMETHING; however, I know it is for the best that I stick very closely to my surgical team's eating plan. I notice that a lot of us here on OH have surgeons that follow somewhat different regimens. I have to remain on Phase III for 6-8 weeks, after which time I can incorporate veggies......YAY!!!!
