1 month post op!

Jun 13, 2017

As of today, I had surgery 1 month ago.  Over the past week, things have changed dramatically for me.  I have been eating consistently with few protein shakes.  I can't eat much about 1-1.5 ounces.  I had my first feeling of real fullness on Saturday with scrambled eggs.  The sensation was similar to the lap band where i felt it in my chest and kept burping.  My instinct was to grab a glass of water but i stopped myself.  That often times made things worse with the lap band.  I haven't had anything to drink with meals which i could never stop with the lap band...in 2 more weeks it will actually be a habit to not drink with meals.  I still find the fluid and proteins goals to be touch and am lucky to get in the 40s-50s with protein and 50s with fluids.  I quit drinking coffee and am drinking hot tea with equal.  Because of the stomach burning and nausea, I quit taking vitamins but am thinking about resuming them with food.  I am on soft food until the second week of August so looking forward to the summer passing along without any issues.  There is a lot to look forward to this fall from my best friends wedding (maid of honor) to a few concerts.
