11-03-06 18 days post-op and I feel great!!! I haven't weighed myself yet. I feel lighter.
I made myself a protien shake this morning adding a bit of orange juice and that wasn't a very good idea. I didn't feel better until late in the afternoon.
11-08-06 I had my post op visit with Dr. Slotman yesterday. I lost 17 pounds. He said I am doing good and to keep doing what I am doing. I still have 3 more weeks of the modified liquid diet left. Carnation sugar free breakfast drinks are agreeing with me better. My staples were removed. That hurt alittle. My incision is coming along nicely.
11-10-06 I lost another 4 pounds since tuesday. Totaling 21 pounds down. I am having trouble with expelling what goes in goes immediatly out. Dr. Slotman said this should change later on. I HOPE SO.
11/13/06 down another 4 pounds. I had to see my family doctor today. I developed a really bad cold and upperrespatory infection. Knocked me down for a few days. 25 pounds 4 weeks post op. I still feel really good but get tired easily. I want to place my pic on line. I don't know how.
11/19/06- Down 27 pounds I think. Still cannot drink a protien drink coming from powdered form. My face is looking smaller. Did anyone notice a loss of the pinky look to your skin after this surgery? I am now a Twanny color. It's different.
11/27/2006-I made it through Thanksgiving. It wasn't that hard. I really didn't want anything that bad. I think I am down 29 pounds now. I go to Dr. Slotman tomorrow and I will find out for sure.
12/26/06 - I made it through Christmas! It wasn't hard at all. The only thing I wanted was a cream puff but I resisted. I had Ham and turkey with pepperoni and cheese later. I drank water. I did not feel deprived. As far as I know I am down 41 pounds. I showed my cousin my scar on Christmas night and she was amazed how small it is. It is still pink but it will lighten. Now New Years. This should be interesting. I am use to going to the Mummers Parade in South Philly and acting the fool along with everyone else. This will be a challenge
06/07/07 - It's been awhile. I am down almost 80 lbs. Ya hoo. I weigh 169. My clothes are all really big. I wear a size Large or 14-6. I am out of the big girl section. I went to Ireland to visit my daughter in January. I did drink beer. I was fine. It was fun. I am at a stand still again. I need to exercise more. I have been taking the dog for a walk every night.
