Well I went for my one month post op visit to the bariatrician, nutritionist and surgeon. They said I was doing great. My nutritionist even said I could start stage 3 (soft) a day early, woohoo. I asked my surgeon what complications I may have being one month out and he said a stricture, but he didn't see that happening since I haven't been having any problems with my diet advancement or scar tissue. I feel great and am so excited I have got one month behind me and am tolerating my soft diet really well. One problem is constipation, wow it sucks! I started Miralax (per my bariatrician and surgeon), hope it helps. Really other than that I don't have any issues so far, saying my prayers! 

Well here I am 3 weeks post op and still can't believe I made such a life changing decision. I am so proud of myself and can't wait to get this life hindering weight off me! I am down 43 pounds (also counting pre op diet) and am feeling so good. My hips and knees are hurting less and I find doing simple daily living activities a lot easier. I'm not quite at the point of wanting to shop for new clothes but I will get there and can't wait to do that. I am walking at work on my breaks and find I am not out of breath as bad as I used to be, and that's only 43 pounds down! Imagine when I lose another 150, I am going to feel like running a marathon, that would be cool! I'm not getting in all the liquids I am suppose to but I don't feel I'm doing to bad. I try to increase it every day. I go for my month post op appt with my surgeon and bariatrician next week so I'm excited about that and start soft foods one week from tomorrow. I'm still taking 2 shots of heparin a day and can't wait till that's over with, one more week. Also hoping to stop taking the Omeprazole 2x day, will talk to Dr. I will update after my Dr appt! Love reading all of your posts, recipes and stories, it gives me strength! Keep them coming! 

OMG I can't believe tomorrow is my 2 week mark! I went to the Dr last week and told them about my issues and they said as long as I'm not short of breath or having any other issues it should be ok. Well the pain in my chest is gone and I don't have diarrhea anymore so I guess everything is going good. I feel really good. I am getting on my gazelle everyday for 10 minutes to start, I HATE EXERCISING!!! My incisions are healing good. I am so happy I took the bull by the horns and got the surgery. I am down 36 pounds (I am including the weight I lost during the pre op diet). I can't wait to go clothes shopping with my daughter, sister and mother! I am going back to work monday (today is tuesday) and hope I can keep my supplement schedule straight. I created an Excel spreadsheet to keep it all in order and if I miss a dose it screws me up the rest of the day!!! Oh well I can and will do it!!!
