Nov 22nd - 5 days post-op

Nov 22, 2009

Doing well!  I have dropped almost 2 lbs a day since my surgery - so weird!  I actually have to say - that never happened when I had the lap band - not at any point in the process.  Anyway, my energy comes in spurts and then I am tired again.  I will actually be moving back home today from staying at my parent's house for the 1st week of recovery.  My husband and pets miss me - so I am going to see them tonight:)!

I have made one big decision in terms of vitamins though.  I bought some vitamins from Celebrate Vitamins today - Multivitamins that you can swallow and dissolve fast.  I don't know about the rest of you - but I don't think I can do chocolate, cherry, grape, lemon creme and orange the rest of my life.  I prefer to just take the pill and be done with it.  I did check and it says that it is ok and won't block the stoma (fast dissolving).

I have not been able to get in 30 mins a day of exercise yet though - my energy spurts haven't pushed me to that yet - but I will try starting this tomorrow and see how I progress.

So far, this has been an amazing experience.  I go back for my post-op visit on December 7th and will keep everyone posted on my progression.

I hope all is well with everyone and look forward to chatting with you soon!
