Two week check up

Aug 16, 2010

Saw the surgeon for my two week check up.  I'm down 14 pounds since surgery for a total of 22 lbs.  All is well and I continue to recover uneventfully.  I don't have to go back to the surgeon for 3 months.  I can't wait to see what I weigh then!  The last of my steri strips fell off yesterday.  The incisions are a little raised and slightly tender but healing nicely.  Forgot to ask when I can go swimming so I'll ask tomorrow when I call for my appointment.  My energy is returning quickly.  Looking forward to having more energy as I lose more weight.
I start on pureed food and look forward to home made mashed potatoes. With the appropriate adjustments of course.  So far my new tummy is tolerating everything pretty well.  I get full easily but that was the point right?  I have been having trouble getting in all the liquids.  Today the Doc told me that I didn't need to be paying attention to the No liquids before of after meals until week 4.  Wish I knew that two weeks ago!  Got through it anyway
Hicups are a frequent companion.  Strangely, I can't seem to burp.  Feel like it a lot, but no luck. 
Haletosis has reared its smelly head.  Luckily I am the only one who notices but I'm careful to not breath on anyone.
Absolutely thrilled with how things are going so far.  No buyers remorse.  Just wish I did it sooner!
