2 Weeks Post-Op

Aug 11, 2009

Hi all! , Ok, well it has been 2 weeks since my surgery and am just now about to move around like I used too. I do tire easily but still doing good! I have lost 19 pounds since surgery and I lost 8 pounds before surgery for a total of 27!!! I think that I should be loosing a little faster than I am but, I haven't started exercising yet either. So, let's pray it starts coming off faster!  The first two weeks I think have been the hardest. I craved food soooo bad!!! But, I also learned that was because I started smoking again, which makes you hungrier and I wasn't able to drink hardly any of the protien drinks. When your body doesn't have enough protien, you get hungry. Another plus, is I originally thought I was going to have to be on the all liquid diet for 3-4 weeks. After my 2 week post-op appointment, I found out that that wasn't true!! I am now HAPPY to say I am on purred' or soft foods now!!!  Also, I have been experiencing a lot of mood swings! However, these are starting to go away! :-) The only other problems I have had is with constipation and dry mouth. Those are remedied easily tho.
