Life After Surgery...

Jul 16, 2011

After a year of waiting I finally had my surgery. Not the lap-band, as originally expected that's more than fine. I am 2 weeks out and feeling great.

Food fears: I'm nervous for my first post-op appointment because I feel like I'm not drinking enough fluids, eating enough protein, and inevitably not losing weight fast enough. I had a bad reaction to eggs a week out of surgery and ended up back in the ER. I am so afraid that I will get to London and the same or a similar thing will happen and I'll be in a weird place and won't know what to do. I will be advanced to stage 4 of the diet - high protein soft foods which I was really excited for but don't know what to make of it now. Any suggestions for how to tackle my fears??? 

Exercise: I have been walking a little but I yearn to get cardio in. I don't want to hurt myself but I have pent up energy and frustrations, not frustrations about the surgery but general frustrations. Do I really need to wait 6 weeks before I can kick this walking game up a notch, or 5? Hahahahahahaha
