1st Post-Op appt
Well, I made it through my first post-op appt. (slowly walking and holding the left side of my stomach). My doc. said I could start chicken noodle soup and yogurt. Honestly, I don't think I'm ready. I've read many horror stories and I know at least with broth, protein drinks and jello, I'm fine. Seriously, I know I have to integrate other foods but the thought brings anxiety. I believe the concerns are coming from the pain I still have with the healing process. I am not trying to welcome any more problems. (I'm just venting, tomorrow I will try yogurt).
I weighed in at 227.7 , which was pretty good in my opinion. I lost seven pounds before surgery and another ten after. But what I'm most proud of is.................. My glucose levels have been amazing. I HAVEN"T taken any injections or oral meds (insulin) since a couple hours after surgery. The weight coming off is a plus, but not taking diabetes meds is EVERYTHING!!!!!! God Bless all and thanks for listening!!!!!
