Friday 7/30 update....

Jul 30, 2010

Still just figuring this out. Last 2 days have been focused on more protien shakes rather than "purees" and I think that I'm getting more protien and feeling better. Have taken longer walks the past couple of days....good exercise, twinges of pain but nothing severe. Also trying to rest/lay down several times through the day even if just for 15 minutes. Feeling a bit stronger, but still have the one area (slightly left of center--pouch location? maybe) where it seriously hurts if I bump it or stretch or reach and it expsoses that area. Probably normal to hurt for a while in the area of the surgery....although I am anxious for my 1st follow up (Tues 8/3) to know if what I am feeling is 100%normal or on track. Weighed in today at 357.0 (77lbs from worst; 52lbs from Jan 2010; 22lbs since pre-surgery). Trying also to get in all of the vitamin supplements and water too, but seems like it's pretty tough to get it all in...with a egg size pouch as the max volume. Just an update....looking forward to 3 months....6 months....1 year.....to read how this all appeared at this time, with a "looking back" perspective.
