1 month down many to go...

Apr 28, 2010

So I went to my 1 month visit with my surgeon today. I was in and out of there in 20 min! First of all I was a little irritated with my weight loss. My scale is always 2-4lbs less than his. Well after my lovely bags of fluids a couple of weeks ago I gained almost 4lbs, so when I weighed in today it looked like I only lost 2.5lbs in two weeks. He was happy with my progress though. He said he wanted to see me back in 2 months and wants me to lose 10lbs a month. He also said he doesn't care about my calorie intake at this time as long as I get my protein in. He was surprised on how well my scars are healing; he said they probably will be invisible by the time I go back to see him. He also cleared me to do whatever I wanted. First on my list is going to be a nice....long.......relaxing bath!  I went back to work yesturday,and I must say I have been dragging a bit.
My pain is almost all gone. I still do have some discomfort in my actual stomach area. He said this is due to the healing inside and also in the incision where he took my stomach out. It is still very tender and still has a hard lump under the skin. He said it would go away and it was also from the healing.

Looking foward to next week because I can then have almost all meats!! Woohoo, I'm gonna get me a bunless hot dog! Or maybe a crustless pepporoni pizza! MMMMMM
