1 week appointment

Feb 27, 2014

Today marks 1 week since my surgery. Time has really flown by! The appointment went well- I just got my staples removed and the doc said my incisions looked good. I asked when I could have caffeine again and he said not until 2 months post op, and no decaf coffee either. Boo. Oh well I'll survive, lol. Guess I'm just gonna have to start napping after work! Things have been going smoothly, I've been able to take in enough fluid and protein. I figured out that my stomach does not like milk right now- boo. I hope that changes eventually. I will be able to start soft foods next week-yay! Today I was allowed to introduce eggs into my diet. I love eggs, so I cooked one and had a few bites. I tolerated it just fine, but I didn't do a very good job cooking the egg. I forgot to add milk and worried it wasn't soft enough, so I just gave the rest to my dog. I'll try again tomorrow. I'm also allowed to start eating hummus and beans- I think I will have some of that tomorrow too. Overall, I am a pretty happy sleever. Oh, the best part is that I am down 20 pounds since the start of my pre op diet, 10 since surgery. I have never lost 20 pounds in my whole life, no joke! The most I have ever lost was 15 pounds when I was on weight watchers in high school, but I put that back on quickly enough lol.
