2 wks 2d Post -Op

Dec 31, 2010

So here I am @ 2wks 2d post-op and since surgery I am down 4.6 pounds which makes me 23.7 total. Not too shabby, but I have not really noticed a difference in my clothing or my shape so I don't know where I lost it from !  I haven't posted in a while because not much was going on these past two weeks. But in the last couple of days I have started to feel pretty close to normal. Here is whats going on now:

Eating soft foods, but also cheating with regular foods and chewing them up to mush!- no problems with this at all
Still making good choices to eat.
I have finally quit relying on MOM to go the bathroom and that is always a pleasant thing lol
My bowel habits have changed. I used to go several times a day and now it is once every couple of days. Now, I know bowel habits are not something I would normally discuss, but I figure I should include this info for anyone who wants to know everything about my process and compare it to their own, and let's face it folks...everybody poops.

I am still having some discomfort at the port site when I go from sitting to standing but I am now able to partially lay on that side to sleep. Also when pushing on the port site it is still tender, but not real bad.
I have been having some issues with sutures working their way out of my incisions, but this is not unusual for me, happens any time I have an incision requiring sutures under the skin. Don't know why. So I am still healing in some places where those have reopened my wounds. It seems once these sutures find there way out, (about one stitch for every incision) my wound closes and all is well.
I have started exercising again at the gym instead of just walking or yoga at home. Now I am doing both.

I think that is about all the updates I have. I hope everyone has had a good holiday, and I wish everyone a happy healthy new year!
