THANK YOU!!! Update 9 days post op

Jul 06, 2014

Hellooo!!! 9 days post op and I am feeling almost 100%! I have so much energy to do little things like clean up my room, house and car!!! I've not had this much energy in years!!! That last thing I wanted to do was sit by the computer! Awesome right?!? Thank y'all so much for the support the last 3 weeks, means so much and I hope all y'all are doing well too 

I have been doing well with my fluids and vitamins. Sometimes I do think I can drink more that the average patient, but Ive read it's most probably because I can't feel anything in my stomach since the nerves were cut. Weirdly though, beginning Saturday, I was finding myself getting "full" quicker and burpier. So that's new. 

As for weightless, I am definitely slow - today I weighed in at 255~ which is awesome, almost 10lbs from surgery - 30 total including the pre-op loss. I am not complaining at all, I'll take it! Tomorrow I am joining a gym - actually my company will pay for me to go to gym while I work towards goal! Cool right! Not to mention they will reimburse me half the cost of operation and year later as long as I am at goal.  My follow-up appointment is Wednesday so we will set a goal then me thinks. Personally I would love to be at 180 - so hopefully nothing lighter than that. 

So looking forward to pureed phase!!! All the beans! All the baked ricotta! Maybe not all, but definitely a healthy portion. The idea of being more organized about eating is super exciting to me. I have a scale, measuring cups and super awesome bento box I'm dying to use. Food is actually exciting now since I am getting all sorts of ideas on how to eat better! 

Anywho, I'm going to work on posting pics somewhere - talk to y'all soon and good-luck to those with surgery this week!
