tomorrow is 3 weeks post op...i have an appointment with my primary doctor she will check to see how my blood pressure is doing...last time she checked me a week after my surgery she cut my blood pressure pill in half...i hope she can cut it but it might still be wishfull thinking...i have lost another 3lb from last week bringin my total to about 27lb so far...i feel good except i still have a dull pain in my main incision...it becomes a sharp pain when i bend or try to move onto it in bed but other than that ive been getting my walking in not at 45minutes but a good 30 so far....im still having a problem getting all my vitamins in they are to big i have to go get me the chewable kind because the horse pills of the multi and calium are terrible...im also taking biotin for my hair i already had hair loss so im not looking forward to it really falling out after this surgery...ill wear a wig or extentions i guess....i will be returning to work oct 25th i hope this pain eases up a bit...also i feel i run out of energy half way through the day i could be my protein intake i guess ill have to add 2 protein drinks in to get the energy level up...so thats all i have to say this week....
oh one more thing about food intake i do feel hungy but when i do its a pain to eat i only eat when i make food for my boyfriend...and thats only because he like for us to eat together otherwise i would not eat...its so hard for me to not want to hurry and finish and of course when i hurry i feel pain so i still have to work on the chewing and waiting a few minutes before i take another bite...im good with the waiting at least a half and hour before and after i eat...
4 week out we took a trip to southern california riverside and arizona...i did not do so well everything i ate made me sick all my food went down super heavy and i felt it hurt in my esophogus area...so i kept to soup and scrabled egg...5th week out i went back to work and i was able to still have my protein drink at lunch a slice of cheese and a slice of turkey but everything else was making me sick even water..towards the end of the week i could not even drink my protien drink so this week is my 6th week post op i gave my bariatric nurse a call and told him what was happening he said he ordered an uper gi test to make sure i had no strictures happening maybe check for ulcers...but as of now im not getting in all my protien water or vitamins :(
Going in for upper GI test on thursday to check for stricture hopefully they check for ulcers 2...i can eat soup very well...no problem with vitamin water zero is good....some real low cal sweets dont make me sick...some unhealthy food does not make me sick either like fried potatoes or chicken mknuggets :(
