Two Week Follow-up

I just got back from my 2-week follow-up. Dr. is happy with my loss so far. I went home with the lovely lovely drain and thought I would get rid of it - but the surgeon didn't like the color of the drainage... So he took a sampe and I'm back there Friday afternoon to hopefully lose this wonderful drain! (Cross your fingers for me). Until then - I'm still on full liquids - boo!

He is very happy with the amounts I am able to drink - impressed that I'm doing 48 oz liquid and 40 - 60 grams protein. Yeah!

I'm still feeling great. I really don't feel hungry, so have to force myself to eat on some sort of schedule. Weight loss has slowed - but thats ok - I really enjoyed the couple lbs a day - but I know that it would be unrealistic to sustain that sort of loss long!

I still love my sleeve (even if I'm not loving my drain)!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Hey girl,
Yeah, I hated that drain too... soooooo grossssss! I was blessed to have it taken out before I left the hospital. Sorry you have to deal with that. Sounds like you are doing great!!! I'm doing well too... just trying to get in all my water. But, my 2week post op appt went really well, incisions looked good, getting in my protein, haven't damaged anything, etc

Anyway, take care... and I'm with you on the liquids... still have to be on the liquids for another week. Blech!

I'm not really worried - I'm sure everything will be fine - might just need some antibiotics!

I know you are gonna do great tomorrow! Prayers and happy thoughts!

I don't understand the drain thing. I don't have a drain.

I'm in awe of the amount of liquid you are drinking. I would love to drink that much liquid. I want more water so bad. I don't understand why I am having trouble with it, especially since I love water so much.

Everyone is different - on the drain - some surgeons use them some dont - mine does. Since it's there, now I have the joy of it and it's drainage - yippee!

The liquids - I've been amazed at how well I can suck them back! I have to be really careful, I can forget and chug then I get a bad bubble - but once it comes up, I'm fine. Everyone can drink at their own rate - I think I'm just a bit of a freak with it! I knew my nut said protein drinks don't count as liquids - so when doc said how many liquids - I said 48 - 50 + jello or popsicle. He said how many of those are protien - I said none - I thought he would loose it! I told him I don't count those in the liquids - he was impressed!

Glad to hear you are doing great! I will be praying for good results for you on Friday. My drain came out the day I left the hospital so I was fortunate enough to not have to deal with it at home. Finally in the last two days I have been able to get in at least 60 g. of protein without drinking a shake thanks to greek yogurt, string cheese and eggs. I'm on mushies so I have a few more options. However, I have been stalled at the same weight for the last four days so I am trying to make a conscious effort to get the protein in. Keep up the great work!
