4 Weeks Postop

Aug 28, 2012

Today marks 4 weeks since my surgery.  Things are starting to get easier but I hit a hurdle about 2 weeks ago that was rough.  Wasn't feeling well, ended up in the hospital with low potassium and high pancreas enzymes.  They kept me for 5 days, which seemed like an eternity.  Thankfully it was nothing I did.  I was scared I did something wrong but was reassured by the doctor that my pancreas just was having some difficulties and the low potassium was due to not having eaten prior to getting to the hospital because I wasn't feeling well.  At that point I was on pureed food.  

Now I'm on soft food and it's going pretty well.  I'm finding I have to force myself to eat.  I'm never hungry.  Even fluid is hard to get down!  Nothing even really sounds good to eat.  I'm scared to eat in fear of causing a blockage or something.  But, when I do eat, I chew the hell out of it and take small bites.  

Had an appointment yesterday and I am officially down 50 lbs since June 26th.  That's 33 lbs post op.  I knew it was going to happen, but I still don't think I believe it!!!  I didn't realize the change until I put my before and after pictures side by side.  NOW I see a difference.  Just wish eating would get easier sooner.  I know it will eventually, and I am constantly reminded it DOES get easier.  Just wish it was now LOL.  Me being the inpatient one, of course.  In time.  More later :-)
