Well today i am 15 days post-op

Feb 26, 2009

I have to say that it has been a road well learned.  I thought that i was going to be able to eat more then i can.  And things I loved before surgery like coffee i can not tolerate right now.  I am healed almost all the way on the outside, except for 1 place where they put a small hole, the stitch under the skin popped and it is open.  But i know i must just let it heal from the inside out.  it is not infected so good to go.  But the itching on the skin drove me crazy.  You couldnt scratch it because it hurts.  But i will live.  I am down 15 lbs since surgery and a total of 26 total.  So i am happy.  I havent seen 250s since i first had my daughter.  and she is 17 now.  So it has been a good thing.  Would i do it again?????  Hell yeah.  The pants i had just been able to fit in right before surgery i now must belt.  The swelling has gone almost all the way down on my abd.  I will wait 1 more week before i take another photo though.  Hopefully i will be at 30lbs down total by then.  I find it hard to think of things to eat that sound good to me.  I tried eggs and thought since i could handle 8oz of liquid i could handle 2 small eggs.  ha ha no way i couldnt even eat1 full small egg.  WOW.  But allis good and i hope everyone of my new OH friends are doing great.  Let me know how you all are and remember if you have a question for me i will be very honest.  I dont believe in hiding anything any more so if you are not ready for the honest truth, please dont ask the question.  I say this because i think i scared one ofyou off with the truth.  And i am sorry but i think we need to keep this as real as it is here.  Too many other sites are filling people with liesand i want this one to be completely honest to me and from me.... I hope you appreciate the honesty and are not mad at me for it..  That is what i would expect from all of you.  Thanks Gail
