13 days post-op! :)

Aug 20, 2010

Went to my post-op visit yesterday, I am 41 pounds down from when I started the process, having lost about 15 since the surgery 13 days ago...almost a pound per day is not too shabby!  I know it won't always be this way, but I'm liking it as long as it lasts!

Cleared to go back to work mid-week next week (boo!) because I'm doing so well with no complications (yay!), got to take off those compression stockings (yay!), and I don't have to wear the abdominal band any more (yay!).  Can't swim for another week (boo!) - my wound is healing but the surgeon wants it to be fully sealed up...can't blame him, better safe than sorry and with an infection!  In addition, I have graduated to "mushy" foods!!!  Was getting SOOO sick of the protein shakes.  Still had one for breakfast, because I still need to get in my 60 oz of protein and with only being able to eat 2 oz of "real protein food" at a meal, I will be eating all day to try to get that in...and since I'm still not hungry ***at all***, that would be a little tough.

Feeling good, feeling strong, feeling energetic - can hardly wait to see what the next few months bring!
