2 weeks

Oct 11, 2011

Yesterday was two weeks post-op.  Recovery has been okay, but I had an allergic reaction to my band aids and first aid tape!  I am still dealing with the reaction.  My incisions are healing nicely, otherwise.  I had the drain removed last week and ever since then I have been dealing with pain on my right side.  I tried to return to work this week, and have had to leave early every day because I was very uncomfortable.  I experienced "dumping" for the first time on Monday when I got home from work.  I only had one bite of food and it was something I had eaten previously.  I have been lucky enough to not experience it since.  I am taking things one day at a time.  I am also very excited because I am planning on doing a 5k next August with a whole bunch of friends!  I figure that goal will help keep me motivated to exercise and stay on track with the healthy eating.  I don't even miss the sugar laden foods that I once HAD to have!  When I do crave something, it is short lived and I don't give in.  I never thought I had this willpower in me.  I am excited for all that is to come!
