2 weeks postop!
Mar 25, 2009
Hello! So, today I am two weeks post op! I can't believe that much time has already passed! I am down 20 lbs since surgery morning and 26 since my preop. I still don't feel like I've lost anything tho because I am still "puffy" due to all the air they pump into you to do rny laproscopically. My throat gurgles, ALOT! It's kinda more annoying than anything but my husband can hear it across my livingroom! It's embarassing, too! I'm struggling to get my liquids in along with the protein shakes. So far Boost is the only brand I can even remotely handle. I freeze it so it's super thick. I think they all smell worse than they really taste tho. Speaking of smell, since my rny, I have a bionic nose, or sense of smell!! It's totally crazy and things I used to love the smell of, I now hate...it's very weird! I am very happy it's over and done with. My husband and sons and my best friends have been an enormous support to me! They have been wonderful!! I so appreciate having them in my life! I have also been overcoming the battle of friends already ditching me. I don't know why. Perhaps because they still struggle with their weight as well? Well, SO DO I! This isn't easy by any means! I'm glad my behavior classes prepared me for this. Were they really friends to begin with? Most likely not. Some haven't even called to see how I am, 2 weeks! Oh, well, I did this for MYSELF and my health! If they can't cope, to hell with them, right? Anyhow, for anyone seeking this or afraid, don't be! It was much less pain than I had anticipated. I got my morphine drip removed 2 days after surgery and haven't taken a pain med yet! Yippee! My hubby tells me he can already tell I've lost in my face! Only for my ass to show it now, right?? Good luck to any of you working your new tool and to those who will be getting theirs soon!!!
