4 weeks postop

Jun 15, 2009

I hadn't written about my operation.  Just forgot I guess. My WLS was May 13th, 2009 (Wednesday).   It was the simplest operation I've ever gone through.  In and out of the operating room, recovery room and recovery 2 room and then home.  In recovery 2 room I was told I could only have a medicine cup of water for every 1/2 hour. ??? that's strange.  But I made it.  Got home at 8:00PM with operation starting at 1:45.
Little sips of water, protein drinks and a walk here and there. I made it thought the weekend and started back to work on Monday.  I did very well that first day and haven't missed a day of work yet because of the WLS.  1 week later started my purees and now still on soft foods.  I haven't had any problems with food at all. I do like to have a protein drink made up of neutral flavored protein and water and crystal light.  It makes it easier to go down. 
Tomorrow I go in for my 1 month anniversary and I'll see what happens then.

Good luck to you all!

Brenda
