2 Week Post Op Visit

A lil update on me... I saw Dr. K and team today. My first post op visit. The nutritionist was very happy (whew!) and gave me 4 stars out of 4! I haven't gotten 'stars' for anything since grade school! Anyway... good reports all around which made me feel MUCH better! I had gained 13 pounds during my stay in the hospital. I lost those 13, plus 15 more pounds! Yipppeeeeeee!! Fifteen pounds plus the 23 I had lost before surgery! Ok, I am happier now! He said my incision looked great! I go back in 4 weeks for my 6 week followup. Monday I start pureed foods, and I can't wait!! And, I can also go back to work on the 16th! Huggs, Ruth
