Hey ya'll! I'm just updating to tell you that I had my first check up with my surgeon since surgery...I'm 3 weeks out now...and I'm feeling pretty good : )
My appointment was a quick....do you feel well...are you having any problems....your OK'd to start the next stage of your diet....and make sure your taking these vitamins because your blood panel said you were low. That was about the gist of it....the only thing I heard of course of was..."You can eat REAL food"!! Lol : ) My hubby and I celebrated by going to coltons....I had a grilled tilapia and a baked potato (of course only a few bites of each)...and my hubby of course had steak. It was great and tasted wonderful....until an hour later I started cramping all over and had some of the worst gas I've EVER experienced....I was up asking people on the boards what they thought....it hurt something awful! it lasted for seven hours till I got wise and took some pain medicine...that seemed to do the trick...but my intestines felt like I played jump rope with them when I got up the next morning.  I was scared to eat all day....but my hubby said that I HAVE to eat or I die...ok, when you put it that way....and you don't have to be so dramatic...good lord...I could have made it on my protien shakes just fine! : )

Alas, I did try some more food....I had mashed potatoes....corn....and a bite of macaroni. I was REALLY wanting some meat....but I'm not gonna be trying any of that any time soon! Everything went down just fine and no cramping...I'm guessing that fish and I aren't going to be friends anytime soon. : (

Oh, and I had a WOW moment tonight....I got out of the tub and went to grab for a towel and the only one left was one of the one's that I can't wrap around me to save my life....but I decided to make do...and lo and behold....it wrapped, tucked, and stayed with minimal effort! Woohoo!

Thanks for sharing in my news,
Hugs to all,
Mia
