2 Weeks Post Surgery
May 11, 2009
Hello! I've made it through my first two weeks. I went back to work today, but only for three hours. Tomorrow I'll go to 4 and Wednesday I'll go to 5. I only work a 7 hour day so I'll be back full time on Thursday. How am I feeling? Pretty great! I'm not saying that I don't experience some pain, but it is minimal (I haven't taken any medicine for discomfort since day 5 out of surgery.Today was good for another reason -- I was able to stop wearing the abdomen belt and the compression hose.....Yeah!!! I'm thrilled to have them gone.
What's my biggest complaint? The food...or the lack thereof....I'm still doing the liquid diet. I generally shoot for 48 oz. of water, along with 2 Bariatric Advantage shakes and 1 cup of Healthy Select soup made with Lactaid. I'm so tired of shakes and soup!! I've discussed other options with my friend, but it seems this is the best way to hit the 60 grams of protein each day. I can hardly wait to reintroduce some protein!
How's my weight? Well, I lost 13 pounds on the pre-op liquid diet and I've added another 18 pounds since the surgery. I can't believe I've already dropped 31 pounds. I can feel the difference in my clothes and some people are telling my they can see a difference in my face. On with the journey....
