6 Days Post Op..

Well I went to see my Dr for a checkup.. Before surgery I was at 273 and today weighed in at 259, Im sure water weight was the first do go since I have been on this liquid diet since Nov 2nd.. The Dr. left the drain and staples in.. He stated that for the “Re-Do” patients, better known as Revision Patients he like to leave that in a little while longer due to the scar tissue taking a longer to heal..I have not started to take any vitamins as of yet.. I should start taking them in about 3 weeks.. I told him that I am hungry and don’t want the broth, jello, etc.. anymore, and asked if I could go back to shakes like I was on when I first had the Gastric Bypass… He said that he doesn’t like that for his patients because while YES it has the protein, but it also does contain unneeded calories.. I will be able to go to “Soft Foods” beginning Tuesday, November 15..So I will try my hardest not to drink the Bariatric Shake or Pudding that I got until then…
