two weeks post op

Jun 01, 2011

I have had my new stomach for two weeks now. Heading to the doctor for post op check up tomorrow June 2nd. Not sure if I am doing things right but the weight is coming off. I am feeling much better now I am off the insulin and on a different one. Lantus 11 units a day compared to Novo log 70/30 3x daily. I have stopped taking actose and have not been as tired as I was before the surgery.

I am enjoying walking again but do miss eating my veggies. The last two days I have had high blood sugars in the morning and normal after breakfast. This makes me a little concerned, don't want to end up on more insulin again. I am having a hard time with breakfast, not knowing what to puree'  so shakes it is. I am not missing carbs but am not a huge meat person either. I enjoy chicken and fish but there is only so much I can eat of that.

Thank God I was able to complete my school work before surgery, I have been tired  in the afternoon and just want a nap. Going back to work one week after surgery has been something I did not want to do, but appears to be something I always end up doing no matter what surgery I have had. I do wish the kids and husband would pick up after themselves, got up this morning and sons mud from his cleats was still on the floor.

I do have to say this surgery is going much better than I expected. I am handling the eating very well and do not feel as though I am deprived of food. I can not wait to see what the future holds.
