2 weeks post -op and total of 39 lbs down!!!

Mar 29, 2011

I have lost a total of 39 lbs since my start weight.  Since the day of surgery 26 lbs not including the 8 lbs put on and lost from IV fluid while in the hospital.  So to make things simpler I am going to use my day of surgery weight from here on so 26 lbs in 14 days.  I lost about 4 1/2 inches in my waist.   I did not take the rest of the measurements today but I am sure I have lost some inches in other areas.   I have been having broth, yogurt, pureed and strained soups, SF pops and crystal light.  I have had a few protein shakes but they don't seem to go down as easy as warm does but it is getting better.   I definitely need to up my liquid intake as I am probably only getting in about 32 oz a day which I know is definitely not enough and probably the reason I have stopped losing last couple days.  I am working on this.   I have had some issues with my apnea mask so have not been sleeping very well and therefore I am finding I am very tired during the day.   My pressure is going to be lowered so this should help. I am still working on increasing my walking. Other than that things are going very well. I have my first post op appointment with Dr. Roslin and I doubt that will be eventful but if it is I will post again. Till than.......D
