MY 2 WEEK POST SURGERY APPOINTMENT RESULTS

Sep 22, 2011

Well i was very happy with my 2 week appointment with nutritionist and the doctor.  I lost 16 pounds since day of surgery. Add that to the 16 pounds i lost 2 weeks befroe surgery and I am at 32 pounds down total!! I get to move on to the mushy foods and can start to use skim or 1 percent milk to mix my protein shakes. I am so excited to be off of the liquids only.  Although I had some malt o meal and could only eat a couple tablespoons but it tasted so good.  I tried cream of chicken soup today and again couldn't get much down but it tasted very good. I am having an easier time getting protein in since I can use milk and put in dry milk powder to add even more protein to stuff.  I am still getting nauseous easily and use my prilosec, the prescription anti nausea pills and gasX strips as needed.  The doctor told me the nausea should continue to fade out over time and to just be patient as this is still all only a couple weeks old.  Anyway. I am so glad I did this surgery. I have never lost this much at a time before and people say they can see it in my face already. It will take awhile to see body differences but I can already feel some of my clothes have more room in them than before. Trying to find all the little positives!!
