3 1/2 Weeks Post Op!

Apr 12, 2010

Wow....has this been a journey! I'm back at work for the first day in 3 1/2 weeks....still sore....walking on my breaks and consuming such small amounts of food, it is so awesome! Averaging a pound a day more or less in the weight loss department. Everything I so enjoyed prior to surgery is history. There is very little that I truly enjoy in the taste buds. I struggle to get all my protein in. I find it hard to chew chew chew those vitamins and pills for my Diabetes are almost non existent! Water is another area that is like; how the heck am I supposed to drink at least 64 oz. daily? I sip all day and even night and only get around 40 oz. right now....I'm working on it, what can I say? Bending over is getting better. No lifting....sitting is a challenge, I have to keep shifting from one cheek to the other periodically throughout the day. Thank God for my surgeon, Dr. Marc Zare'! He is a God send. Best of all, I can call his office and speak with him anytime I feel the need (only done it twice since surgery), but, hey, he makes me feel like I'm the only one he let's do this! Says a lot in my book! All you folks out there that need a good Bariatric surgeon....look him up....located in San Jose, CA....He's the greatest. That said, anyone out there looking into this surgery RNY Gastric Bypass, please do your homework, research, research, research and need I say it?, join Obesityhelp.com! It's a hard road ahead, but, I'm up for the challenge, are you? I'll keep everyone posted periodically on my progress. God Bless.
