First Post Op Visit

Jul 15, 2010

I went to my post op visit yesterday.  Everything went wonderfully!  I've lost a total of 21 pounds!  I'm really glad to be back under the 400 mark FOREVER!!!  My incisions are healing nicely and I'm almost back to 100%.  I still haven't suffered any nausea or anything like that.  It's really wierd.  I went out to eat for lunch with my family yesterday for the first time since surgery.  We went to a Mexican restaurant and I had refried beans with a bit of cheese on it.  I was stuffed just after a few bites.  I'm really trying to tune into my body and find my "full" signal.  I have ate past it for so many years that I don't even remember what it feels like!  The only pain I have is from my back.  It aches a lot.  The nurse said that that was a common complain because of the operating table.  She said it should go away with time.  It hurts worse than my incisions!  I'm starting to get bored around the house so I went to the mall with my mom yesterday.  I almost overdid it.  I was definitely ready to get back home after a few hours of following her around Dillards.  All in all, I am right on track.  I'm on pureed foods and have a grocery list a mile long!!!  I'm going to try some recipes from a wls book I've been reading so I hope they taste good!
