19 days post op today and 1st follow up appt

I went to the dr today. I've lost 32 lbs and have been given the ok to eat soft foods. I was originally supposed to have the DS but my dr did the sleeve for safety reasons. So far so good. I do need to up my protein and add a couple vitamins beside my multi but other than that everything is good. He is calling this part one of a 2 part DS but I don't plan to need it. I truly believe I can lose all I need to with the sleeve. Just wanted to give my update!

Great news all around!

I'm so glad you are doing well, and that you've lost so much weight.  Great job.  Keep up the good work.

Thank you!!

Wow great job! And advanced to soft foods......I find your post inspiring because when I am 19 days post op I will be on vacation and am nervous about dealing w situations in restaurants and eating/ drinking on the run w my husband, sister, and my 12 year daughter.....how are you feeling energy wise? My surgery date is July 16 and go to Cape Cod August 3....thanks and best of luck w your journey....

Thanks Kathy! My energy was pretty low. Now I still get pretty tired but only at certain times of the day. I'm starting to think its when I need to eat something. I also need to increase my protein and vitamins so that could be part of the problem also. I still walk even on days I'm exhausted. Whenever I feel a burst of energy I'm out the door getting a walk in. Naps help a lot! I go back to work in a few days so Im hoping my energy levels improve. I wish you the best on your surgery and recovery and have a great vacation.

I'm 15 days post op and I was cleared to eat regular food just chew chew chew. I've been out to eat once. Went to Logans, had the kids grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and milk to drink. Needless to say I barely ate any of it, but hey...
