Hi Guys,

Sorry I haven't been on much. I have been getting use to my new life with my new pouch. I am two weeks today post op. I have been battling on and off tiredness. I actually called the office and spoke to the dietician and they suggested I get my blood work done with my family Dr. So I did two days ago, and no call from his office yet. So I assume things are normal, but will double check with a phone call tomorrow. However, yesterday and today I have felt really good, and not so tired.

I started pureed foods today. Not much down, two melba toast rounds with some low fat cream cheese. But I get in my protein through shakes everyday!

I also felt accomplished as I went for a longer walk tonight about 30 mins and it didn't exhaust me. I really have to stop stepping on the scale everyday ... it drives me nuts not to see the same results as I had on opti ... and I keep saying to myself, "trust the process, you are doing everything right, you are getting all your protein in" Mind over Matter!!!

Thank you all for your continued support!!!! I am on my way! :):):)

at two weeks, your body is still in recovery from major surgery. Give yourself a break, nap when you need to.

You sound like you're doing well, and like things are happening the way they're supposed to.

Hugs!
