Three weeks post-op

Jan 06, 2009

Well today I am officially three weeks post op and I am feeling good.  I am still sore in my abdomen area, but nothing I can't deal with and move through.  I just called work to see if I could come in for half a day this week to start building back up to full time.  Yesterday was supposed to be my post op appointment with my surgeon, but I got the times mixed up, so I had to reschedule.  I did get to talk to one of the nutritionists who agreed that I was ready to start advancing my diet to phase two.  So last night for dinner I was able to have a small cheese omelet.   It tasted good and I kept it down.  I just think I ate too much cause once I finished I had that sleepy heavy feeling you get when you over eat.  Also, I got a Wii fit for Christmas, so my family and I have been doing that almost every night.  I am proud to say that I am THE hula-hoop champ in this house!  Haha, I got those hips that don't lie...lol...anyways!  

This morning I weighed at 233 which means I am 25 pounds down.  I can really see it too.  My gut doesn't stick out quite as far and my face is starting to look a little more defined.  I am able to sleep on my right side pretty comfortably, but my left side still hurts when I lie on it.   The day that I can roll in my sleep from side to side will be the day I celebrate!  Hopefully things just continue to get better.  Its funny, cause I think my mother just about told everyone at church who would listen about my surgery, so now when I go to church, I get a million "how are you feeling" and "you look good for just having surgery" glances.  Its nice to know people care, but for some reason I still get embarrassed when people single me out or comment on my surgery.  Hopefully that will pass.

I guess that's all for now, gotta run some errands!
