1 month done!

May 15, 2014

Surgery was one month ago today.  I'm feeling great and am starting to eat more real food.  I'm staying sugar and gluten free and sticking to fresh home-made food as much as I can.

I can finally eat dairy again.  I have not found anything else that I cant eat but I find anything with a mashed potato consistency (Yams, potatoes) feel weird and gluey in my pouch so I don't eat them. 

Water has to be a constant for me to get it all in.  I have issues eating or drinking before noon.  Its getting a little better as time goes on but even plain water first thing in the morning is uncomfortable. 

I signed up for the YMCA and have an appointment with a trainer next Friday.  Until then I'm walking every day. I was advised yesterday that there is a cardio strength class on M-W-F that I should start with so I'll be starting that tomorrow.

My incisions have all healed nicely.  I did have one that had a stich poking out but it finally dissolved and is gone. 

My weight loss is good.  I have lost about 38 pounds so far.  I say "about" because the scale has been stuck.  It might go up or down 1-3 pounds and has been stuck like that for about 2 weeks now.  My Dr says its the usual 3 week stall so I'm not panicking.  I know it will all come off in time.  I'm doing all the right things.  I will not fail!  :)
