Post op woes...and more
Jun 14, 2009
Been on OH for over a year now, and realizing I've only posted 2 blogs. How pathetic am I?For a quick update: I had surgery on June 8th. Been on the recovery road ever since. FINALLY starting to have periods of feeling a little better. I didn't take pain medication at home but twice, so it's not ever been a pain issue. Just new and unfamiliar grounds with not being hungry, yet having to force myself to drink, get in liquid protein, take my vitamins, and walk. May have already made a few mistakes with overdoing it. Letting head hunger get to me. Being a bad girl and eating something. Even though I chewed the tiniest bites into oblivion, i still never should have done it. My first time walking, i walked to long and paid for it that night. I'm getting on track with my vitamins though. (Even though I'm not using chewables like doc asked, I got a bariatric regimen that is easier for post-op pts to digest). All in all, things are starting to look up. I am already scale-obsessed and I can see this is going to be a problem. Don't know how not to check like every freakin day. Pre-op highest weight ever seen was 294. Pre-op check in was 279. Left the hospital at 283.5. and am now down to 268.6. Not bad. But clearly, I shouldn't be concerned about that already. right?
I'm willing to take any advice from post-oppers who have already been through this phase as to what they may have done wrong but found out the hard way, so i don't make the same mistake!
Any and all communication is welcome too. I love to chat back and forth with people. The more the merrier!
