It's been 5 weeks now since surgery. I had my 1 month post op appointment last Friday. The Dr Catania was happy with my progress. I've lost 50 pounds. 24 of that was the pre surgery liquid diet. He says 1 pound a day is normal. I'm having a hard time with getting enough liquids and protein in everyday. I plan on really concentrating on that overthe next few weeks. I can't wait to eliminate more of my meds. I hate crushing them up twice a day. They taste horrible.
Sure doesn't seem like it's been 5 weeks. I've been very fortunate with not having any problems or pain. I started on regular foods last week and sure enjoy eating. Just need to eat slow and chew, chew, chew. I haven't found any foods I don't tolerate (yet). But then again I haven't pushed the limit of what I'm suppose to eat. I eat a lot of shrimp cocktail, ckicken and refried beans. I tried a pot pie from KFC and it went well. Enough for 2 meals.
