2 weeks post-op

Apr 29, 2014

Today is 2 weeks since I have had surgery and I'm feeling really good.  I went back to work yesterday and was promptly laid off.  Good news is I have more time to take care of myself.  Bad news is I'm unemployed! 

Things I have learned...

My pouch does not like water in the morning!  Hot tea is fine but plain room temperature water is no good! 

My pouch is not happy with dairy either.  Lots and lots of gas, ew and ow!  No yogurt for me!  Hopefully this will not be permanent!

Since going off the pain meds I struggle to get in all my water.  I sip all day and am getting in 50-60 ounces but it takes work!

I cant take the scale too seriously.  I am weighing myself every day and I have lost a lot very quickly, however its stuck over this week and I'm trying not to be upset by it.  Plateaus happen, after losing 30 pounds I'm sure this is the first of many.  Anyway, I'm only getting in less than 500 calories per day.  It would be impossible for me to be gaining!

Overall I feel really good.  We are having beautiful weather here in Washington and since I'm home I keep wanting to go outside and work in my garden.  I have to keep reminding myself that I'm still healing and I cant do those things right now.
