One Week Post-op!!!!
Feb 24, 2011
How great to finally be able to write those words... POST-OP. I never imagined I would ever get to this spot, and finally, I am one week out. It feels so great to have finally accomplished getting a start to my new life. I was pretty sore the first few days, but it actually is not so bad anymore. In fact, last night was the first night that I was able to sleep in my bed instead of on the couch. Oh, how I missed my bed.
(The couch reclines, so it was easier to sleep there when your tummy is so sore, and I did a lot of that to start with).I finally broke down and weighed myself, as my first post-op appointment isn't until March 3rd. According to my scale this morning, I have only lost four pounds, plus all the fluid weight that I ended up gaining in the hospital (this was like an additional 5 pounds). This was also before I "unclogged" myself with MOM
, as I hadn't used the bathroom since, well, Wednesday before surgery. I am looking forward to going to my first post-op appointment so I can see my weight loss according to the doctor's scale.I am still finding it hard to get all my water in, as 64 ounces is a ton with such a tiny little pouch, and honestly, I don't feel like having anything. My protein, on the other hand, I can get all that in fairly easily, as 8 ounces provides me with 60g of protein!!
Things can only get better, right? Anyway, I am so excited to finally be on the loser's bench, and can't wait to see how far I can go from here!!!
