Aug 31, 2011
well i'm 9 days postop. things are going pretty good. ive lost 29 pounds total since august 7th (which includes my preop diet). but since surgery (the 22nd) ive lost 12 pounds. i had my postop follow up w/ my surgeon yesterday. he took the bandages off of my incisions. they still have sterri strips on them but he said theyll fall off by themselves. i told him that my 1 incision on the right still hurts. he said that it was the incision that they pulled the stomach out of and it was longer. he said they put stitches in that incision for the reason so that i dont get a hernia there. i didnt know that or i wouldnt be zipping around like i am. its still hurting. i started cream soups and milk yesterday. im keepin everything down and not had any nausea. which is great! ive tried cream of: cheese, onion, and brocoli and cheese. they were all pretty good. i like the sugar free hot cocoa w/ milk for breakfast. overall im glad w/ how im feeling and doing postop and happy about my loss so far. every night at dinner time i do smell what my mom's cooking and i want some SOOOOOO bad! i cant wait to have purreed foods! cant wait to chew again. seems like just yesterday was the day before my surgery and i was freaking out. seems like yesterday i had my surgery. and now its been over a week. time flies! i found this protein drink called myoplex. its made by EAS and has 42g of protein in 1 drink! and it tastes nice. im glad i found it. does anyone else use this? i also tried skinny water today, and it was great. did i say the food my mom's cooking smells delicious? lol. thats all for now. just wanted to give yall an update. btw im in sc and looks like hurricane Katia is a cat 4 or 5 and gonna hit us. eek!
