Two weeks post-op- 27 lbs gone!

Jul 01, 2009

I haven't posted in a few days so I figured I should.  My surgery was two weeks and one day ago.  As of today, I am officially down a whopping 27 lbs!  That's 27 lbs I'll never see again.  And ya know what? ..... I don't miss it.

I went in to see Dr. Iannace today because I was concerned that one of my incisions is STILL bleeding and oozing.  He said its NOT infected and that I just have to let it run its course.  In fact, he said all 5 of my incisions look good and I'm doing well.  

I still have lower left abdomen pain and some days (like today) it's pretty bad, but he says there's nothing I can do about it.  He said the activity aggravates it, but that without the activity it won't go away.  SOOO, I trudge on.  I'm walking a mile at a clip now.  that takes about a half an hour.

I am pretty much like everyone I've read about on here.  I'm doing the best I can to get all my water and all my protein, but honestly, I'm not getting it all.  Today I ate about 550 calories and 75.1 grams of protein so I guess it was ok.  Still not enough water though.  I'm eating ALOT of fish- mostly tuna for lunch and salmon for dinner.  Tonight I'm a little hungry, which is weird cuz its only the 2nd time in two weeks I've actually been hungry.  Its not a dire hunger where I have to eat a whole pizza pie, but its definately telling me to eat something.  But I won't.  I can deal with it.

I wish more of my friends on here would update their blogs more frequently.  I don't want to think I'm the only one going through all this.

ok, I guess that's it for now.
