Almost a Month Post-Op

Jul 17, 2011

I haven't updated this in a while.  Surgery went alright.  Now, I'm not going to white wash it at all, it hurt like hell.   I was in a lot of pain the first week.  Everyone kept on telling me it'll get better, but I truly didn't want to believe them.  However, it did and things have been going pretty good. I have had no complications, yeah!

I am so glad that I did not have to be on liquids/purees for long period of time.  I was allowed soft foods on day 5.  I have been handling most things.  Right now, I cannot do tuna, salmon or any beef.  I'll give those a try in another month or so.  I so miss fresh veggies and fruits right now, but I can have them in 2 weeks.  My tomato plants are doing so well and I cannot eat any of it.    I have been out to eat 4 times since the surgery and love it that my hubby and I share one meal.  It makes eating out much cheaper, and we're able to do it more often.  It's one of our favorite things to do is to try new places.  Still have trouble getting in all my liquids, but I will keep on trying.  

This has definitely been a learning experience, but I am so glad that I did it.  I have lost 38 lbs so far, was able to buy a 3X in a regular department store, and need a belt for my pants.    Even with all the pain I have gone through, I would do this again in a heartbeat.  The only regret is that I wish I had done it sooner.  My son is 15, and I missed so much due to the weight.  Well, we're definitely gonna be making that up soon.  We're already planning weekend trips, outings, etc.  next summer!
