12 Days Post Op
Jan 09, 2008
Yesterday I went to the dr to have my tube removed. I weighed in at 297. I lost 19 pounds and am now in the 200's again. It has been a while since I have been here.
I have been feeling great since my surgery. This was my 3rd surgery in my life and has by far been the best recovery. I have had energy and really no pain whatsoever.
Monday, day 10 post-op I did feel horrible. I froze all day and had no energy whatsoever. I really did feel like I was coming down with something. I brought this up to the nurse practioner and she said that my body now realizes that something is different and is going into a type of shock. I have also had a problem with drinking water. It has been making me nautious. The np said to cut it with crystal lite and it will be easier to tolerate.
Today I got up and started drinking my watered down crystal lite. Breakfast was refried beans. I felt great afterwards. Ready to start moving except I am so cold. I think that I am losing my natural insulation. I put on some music and started doing very light housework. As I sit at the computer I am doing small leg lifts. I keep thinking baby steps, but I realize that my goal today is to get out and walk 1/2 block.
Lunch time made me realize that I have to plan my meals much better. I ordered a wls cookbook from the library and they just emailed me that its in. I am trying to get the motivation to get out of my pjs to go get it. I would love to go to the dr next week and have lost another 10 pounds, so I guess I gotta move to lose or at this phase of my life I feel I need to lose before I can move. Regardless, I'm off to the library.
