2 weeks post op RNY

Jun 21, 2011

Tomorrow will be my 2 weeks post-op. I have had my ups and downs these 2 weeks. I am currently at 244.4. this is 8 pounds in 2 weeks. I gained about 10 pounds thru surgery. Pre-surgery weight was 252.4, so I have been going steadily down so far. Its' been difficult to get in all of my protein each day. Nausea haunts me most of the time. I made some homemade broccoli and cheese soup with added protein. Pureed the broccoli really well. I have made that my main protein mainstay besides the shakes. The vitamins are difficult too. I am staying hydrated which is one thing I can be sure of. I am happy with the surgery. Very happy I made the big move. I continue to build up my strength. Monday was full of energy, today was empty. Came home from work and slept 2 hours. That is NOT me! I will be so glad to get back the energy. This sucks! Also, I am walking a couple times a day and working too. I was planning on going back to the gym today but the nap sounded better. Bruising on my abdomen is fading finally. Poke holes are healing well. I had a small umbilical hernia repaired too, so I think most of my discomfort is coming from that site. Not enough discomfort to take anything though. Most of my pre-surgery meds have been stopped. I was going to taper down off my anti-depressant but with the loss of my brother, have decided against that for a while. 
 I would like to thank everyone for the thoughts, kind words and prayers during my time of surgery and the loss of my brother.
