1 week post op

Mar 10, 2011

 Today is exactly one week from when I had my VSG surgery (3/3/11). I can't complain at all. I am in no pain just a little discomfort in my abdomen area something I can deal with. I have had  no pain medications since my hospital stay. I am able to drink water like nothing.I don't have to sip like some mentioned which is a good thing for me because I am trying to get in as much liquids as possible and taking little sips of anything was not going to help me at all. I have lost 4 lbs since surgery (total 22 with pre-op) I am assuming that's pretty average. Next week I can start eating mushies and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! I have been looking online for recipes of what I can eat during the mushie stage. I tend to like to have things in order for when the date arrives I am good to go. I am trying to at least lose 50 lbs by my Vegas trip at the end of April and fit into my size 16's. I once lost 50 lbs on my own and at 250-260 I was a size 16 but then I gained all that back & went back to wearing an 18/20. Crazy how different bodies can wear different sizes. My friend weighs 215 and is a size 16. I wonder how that works.. What else? Tomorrow I have my follow up appointment with my surgeon. We shall see how that goes. I will update again in a few days. I cant wait to feel better..It's a fun month in Miami and everyone is out here from out of town and i am ready to mingle. I have never had a problem being heavy and going out and having fun. I can just imagine how my confidence is going to go up once i reach goal...
