2 week post op check....

Dec 16, 2009

Well, I had my 2 week post-op check up today and it went fantastic!  I weighed in at 292!  That means I lost 16 lbs in 2 weeks!!!  I am just amazed and so thankful that I will never have to see the scale read 300 or higher ever in my life again!!!  My total weight loss since September is 35 lbs.  My clothes still fit the same though. kinda weird.  I mean my pants are getting a little loose but nothing compared to what I thought they would be by now.  My girls say they can see my face has slimmed down.  Other than being tired, I am feeling pretty good!  Dr. Baker did have me get some labwork done to check my electolytes but he doesnt' think it's anything serious.  I told him I have really struggled to get all my fluids in every day.  If I do 3 protein supplements, I can get most of the other fluids in but if I get 4 supplements in, I can't even get close to meeting the rest of the liquids!  He said that is very normal (made me feel better).  I am really not in any pain.  My abdomen sometimes feels "achey" telling me I have overdone it for a while.  but other than that, I am finally sleeping on my side again. woo-hoo! 

Then, I met with the dietician and got my next meal plan.  I am so excited to start on soft foods today!  I mean, the protein stuff isn't bad but after a month....you just need more substance!  Anyway, I tried the greek yogurt, AWESOME!  I love it and so far it loves me!  I am taking it slow but very curious as to how things will sit with me.  Most of the foods on the list have to be mixed with milk or are a dairy product and in the hospital I struggled wiht lactose intolerance.  I am hoping since the yogurt went well today that I am over that part and it will be somewhat smooth sailing.
