2 Weeks...

Aug 23, 2010

It's been 2 whole weeks since my surgery, and I feel great! Lost 21lbs in 10 days, I'm up and moving around, noticeably losing inches. Eating more substantial food, and tolerating it all. Not once have I thrown up...not even in transition. Not once have I felt "dumping syndrome". I am truly blessed to be going through this with no complications (so far). The only snag I hit was the night I got my staples removed, one of my incisions split open. Nothing that Bacitracin, gauze and a couple weeks couldn't fix. It's my fault though. I didn't like the taste of my protein drink, so I waited 3 days for my shake to get delivered. Essentially causing my incisions not to heal fully. But, problem solved. Getting enough protein now...the split incision is healing nicely...all is well. I'm looking forward to being able to shop at normal stores. This truly is a wonderful experience. Just the boost in energy is amazing. Well...2 weeks down...the rest of my life to go...
