I have been overweight my entire life. I am so excited that I hopefully found the tool to guide me to a healthier lifestyle.
July 19 - Surgery was scheduled for 7 am but was moved to 9 am. Finally got into the OR room at 9:45. Dr. had a problem with the previous person. Surgery only took an hour on me. I was up and walking within 2 hours. Had a full pitcher of water, some broth and a popsicle. I have 7 tiny holes and that's it. No pain from the surgery site, just my throat hurts from the tube during surgery.
July 20 - Doing great. Left hospital today at 11am. Feeling a little gassy in my tummy but nothing horrific that I can't handle right now. Gained 10 pounds of water in the hospital but that's ok, I think was pretty dehydrated from the 10 day pre op liquid diet from hell.
July 31 - Almost two weeks post-op. Doing fantastic. Today was my first day back to work. I had the luxury of take off a week and half. I'm glad I had the time to rest and relax and start working on my new eating habits. Looking forward to my first fill in about a month or so. I don't have a lot of restriction but I am still feeling pretty full after only a small amount so that's good! Have lost about 25# so far!
