3 weeks out

Jan 04, 2011

Today is the 3 week anniversary of my WLS.  I feel so much better than I did even a week ago.  I have to say I have been lucky, no nausea or vomiting at all.  I still have some soreness in my abdomen where the incisions are.  Especially if I bend over to pick something up.  But that's about it.  I have been trying to follow all the parameters about what to eat and etc. that I received from the doctor.  I am thoroughly disgusted by the shakes at this point, and am trying to find foods to eat to make up the protein the shakes would give me.  I have ordered some oatmeal, cocoa and fruit drinks that have protein in them.  I got them today, so hopefully they taste decent.  I have been losing weight, so that is good.  25 pounds down since I began this process.  As far as eating, my new stomach tells me when it's full, so I stop eating at that point.  A couple of times I have overeaten, and it resulted in pain for a short while. 

My family, husband and kids, have been great about hanging in there with me thru this process.  I had my surgery right before Christmas, so Christmas celebrations were a little different this year, and my family accomodated me very well.  Very understanding.  My husband has even been changing the cat litter box!! 

Tomorrow I go back to work.  I have to plan what I am going to take with me to eat for snacks and lunches.  I know I am still going to be tired for several more weeks.  I have been walking every day and I intend to keep that up.  Hopefully that will help with getting energy back.

Well that's all for now.
