I'm officially on week 3 so just a quick update on how week 2 ended. My weight loss was very slow. I went from 242 to 238. I'm happy to lose & I won't complain about 4 lbs. It was hard at first to see a smaller loss after losing 14 lbs the first week. But, I realize this will happen at times. Losing nothing would've had me in tears so I'll be grateful. I still can't do much by way of exercise. The physician assistant said I can slowly walk on a treadmill for about 20-30 minutes. I'm waiting for the day that I can go to the gym & really work out. I know the weight will disappear then. I ALMOST FORGOT!! I had my first NSV today! I put on my favorite jeans which I haven't been able to wear in about 2 years...hell I couldn't get them past my thighs but today they went on buttoned & everything. I didn't expect to get those on for a few more weeks. I still won't wear them for a little while because I have room in my stomach area but I have a little extra in the back so they ride low & I don't want my business hanging out when I sit lol.

Today was my first post op appointment. I have officially been home for one week. When I came home I weighed 256. Six pounds of that was the fluid & swelling gain. From the day I came home Wednesday 4/4 until today Wednesday 4/11 I have lost 14 lbs! That makes a total of 24 lbs since the start of liver reduction on 3/20. I'm so excited about that. I went from 256 to 242 in ONE week! Where they da that at?!?! Oh, thats right on OH & in the WLS community!

As far as my visit everything went well. They took out the stitches & removed the steri strips. The physician assistant said everything looks & is healing great. She even let me move on to pureed (whoooo!!!!!). I can't tell u guys how I HATE HATE HATE every protein product. The shakes, drinks, body fortress shots even the greek yogurt with high protein. I'm hoping I'll be able to puree some chicken & just be happy .

Now for my not so happieness. I had LAP RNY but the large incision on the left of my belly button was stitched. The problem is that it was stitched to a muscle which means it was pulled up & deep into my abdomen. So, it caused a indent in my fat. It looks like I have this nasty little fat roll. The doc made it sound like once the stitches were out it would go back to normal. Well, he lied! Of course I knew that once I realized it was sewn to the muscle but I hoped it wouldn't be so evident. Now, they try to comfort me by saying when u lose weight it'll go down & blah blah blah. Trust me that does not help. I think it'll look like hanging skin & in the mean time I'm not going to be able to wear anything that is fitted cuz you'll see the roll! WTF!! This is why I didn't want open RNY so my poor stretch marked stomach wouldn't be any worse but damn it man I didn't see this coming & idk what to do.
