Almost 2 weeks post-op
Mar 14, 2011
Tomorrow it will be 2 weeks since I was sleeved, and Thursday, I go to the dr/nut for my 2 week follow up. With my program, I have specialized protein products to use during this 2 weeks, but I have to admit, after reading so many posts by others, I added in a cup of skim milk with Unjury as my breakfast. I can have Unjury, but found it gross when made with water. By adding the milk to the Unjury, I have more protein and more calories in a day. Prior to that, I was only getting, at the most, 300 calories. It took all I had to take a shower. That is the only change I have made to my program, so I think I'm safe. I cannot wait for my 2 week visit and get advanced to some real food. I never thought I would look forward to cottage cheese and yogurt!! Thankfully, I like greek yogurt since it's higher in protein. I also get refried beans, which will be nice!! I am also starting a new job on Wednesday. I'm only working four hours Wednesday and Friday, with Thursday off for my appointments. Depending how I feel after the weekend, I may start off working 4-6 hours, or if I feel up to it, I will go straight to 8 hours. My vacation time from my old job is just about out, so I need to get some income coming in anyhow. My doctor said I should be able to go back to work after 2 weeks, as long as I can drink water at all times. My new employer has no problem with that, at all. It's a desk job, so that will be nice. Today will be my first real outting since surgery. I'm going up to my old employer to see my friends there. I went to church yesterday, which was nice, but it's literally a minute from my house and I sat the entire time. If I still have energy after visiting, I'm going to stop at a little dollar store and pick up some things. It's sunny and going to be in the high 30's/low 40's, so a good day to get out!!!
