Week 6 - Post op
Jan 03, 2010
Well, I go Wed to the dr. for my 6 week post-op visit. Finally, this past week things got much better!!! I am only nauseous for the most part if I eat too fast, take too big bites, don't chew well enough or eat too much. This I can handle because it is within my control!!!! I have learned to eat without drinking, I am getting all of my medicines down most days, and I am walking on a treadmill 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I am still not drinking enough water though, and still having constipation and hemmorhoid issues. I am having mammoth, frequent periods which I also understand is normal. No hair loss yet, thank goodness.I also go back to the therapist tomorrow for more work on my psyche. I am happy I am doing this part of it because I want to make sure I succeed!!
I went back to my long term Jenny Craig counselor, Patricia, on Friday. She had not seen me since October. She was truly shocked to see how much weight I have lost. I am going to continue to go to her weekly so that I have weekly accountability. There are also some great foods that I can get from there like the turkey burger (don't eat the bread), the chili, the turkey chili, the meatloaf, etc.
My final plan is to attend a meeting of OA and see if that can help me in this journey.
I intend to start blogging monthly, and will post some new pictures on 01/24/10 at 2 months out!
