11 Days Post-Op

Oct 01, 2009

Well I finally had my surgery on September 21!! It went very well and fortunately I don't remember all of it...thank god for morphine! Dr. Loggins and his group were wonderful, I especially love Michael. I went in on Monday and got out on Wednesday and have spent the past week recoperating.

I just had my 10 day appointment yesterday and had my staples out. I will say that my stomach feels a million times better just having those out, I am pretty sure my body hated the staples!
But the really exciting news is that I have lost 17 lbs since surgery! That puts me down 30 lbs with my pre-op loss! Stepping on the scale yesterday really helped to make these past 10 days seem worth something!

I did have my first pity-party for myself the night before my appointment. I have been on the liquid diet since Wednesday and even though I am not hungry, I do still miss food. My roomate made and pumpkin roll, which is the amazing roll of sweetness...I just wanted to cry, and I did! I was asking myself what I had done to myself and was this all worth it and I would never eat a pumpkin roll again. Like I said, I had a big pity party for myself. But then I remembered that this is all much bigger than a pumpkin roll. I knew that when I did this there would be food that I can't eat, but it's all food that I shouldn't eat and that was contributing to my declining health. I also reminded myself that these two weeks are very difficult. I am sore from surgery and all I can eat is protein shakes and soup. But it will get better!!!

So my Dr.'s appointment came at an excellent time...it was just the boost I needed and it definitely got me on a more positive track!!
