18 days post op

Apr 26, 2011

Today is my 18 days post op. Today is also my first day of exercise. I had a great workout this morning. I am lucky to say I did not have any complications during surgery. Thank God for that. I am still in my liquid stage. Since I had a revision, my doc kept me on the liquid stage for a long time. I love the unjury protein powder. I have it three times a day with soy milk. Then I have broth every now and then. I am not yearning for real food nor sweets so I guess that is a good thing.  I have lost 19.2 pounds as of yesterday morning. Since I am out here in Iraq and cannot really wear civilian clothes, I can only measure myself in my uniforms. I went from an XL to a Large in both my pants and shirt. People keep telling me of how much weight I have lost.   I am soo afraid of loosing too fast and having saggy skin and stretchmarks. Though I am a size 16, I did not have stretch marks anywhere on my body. I was running a lot prior to surgery and I intend on doing that.

My only problem is that I have not had a bowel movement in about two weeks.........So far, I am happy with my sleeve
