2 weeks post op
Jun 01, 2007
Well I saw my surgeon and my medical doctor this past Tuesday. I am doing great and they say right on track. I have lost 19 lbs since surgery for a total of 45 lbs since I started. I am pretty happy with that. I get a little discouraged when I see others loosing more but I know we all lose at our own pace. I am going back to work on Monday, Im excited to see all my co-workers but I kind of like this relaxing at home stuff.
I go back to the doctor in 2 weeks and should be started on the pureed stage. I am really not that hungry. Im eating on a schedule otherwise I probably wouldn't get all my protein in. I do miss food sometimes but for the most part Im ok. To be honest Im afraid to eat. I don't want to get sick or get something stuck.

Well I have been home 2 days now since my surgery May 17th. Those first few days and nights I was in severe pain. I cried numerous times and kept asking myself why did you do this to yourself? I am feeling better today but still very sore. I just can't wait to get past this stage of feeling horrible and get to where I feel myself again.
As for the protein shakes,,,yuck!!!! It takes almost all I have to get those things down. They taste horrible. I have a bunch of samples that I purchased from Beth's Protein Boutique so I just hope that I will come across one that I will like.
I just can't wait to feel 100% better and be losing weight.

Well I finally made it through all the doctor visits. I am scheduled for surgery May 17th. I finally got word this past Thursday that my insurance has approved the surgery. I can't believe that in a little over a month I will be on the losing side. I am so excited!
I have been trying to get things ready for after surgery and I tried my first protein shake tonight. I must say Blah!!! I didn't like it at all. I drink slim fast during the week for breakfast and lunch and I actually like that. I get nervous when I think about all of this sometimes but I know I will be fine and that I will be happy I did this after I lose the weight and get rid of some of the health problems I have.
