One Week Post - Op & Weigh In

Jul 02, 2013

July 2, 2013

Today I had my one week post - op appointment with the surgeon and my first weigh in since surgery.  I have lost 11.5 pounds since last Tuesday and 28 pounds since I started the pre-op diet which was a month ago.  I am so excited!  I cannot believe I am doing it.  I can do it and I know I can.  I am stronger than I ever have been before and more determined than ever.  

My appointment went great.  Everything is looking really good.  Meds are hard to get down, especially the larger ones.  They get stuck.  They told me it will get easier.  I am waiting for that time.  I got to start on my second step of eating.  I tried the cottage cheese and it hit my tummy hard.  I'll have to try that again later.  I'm trying to get my protein in every day.  It's hard but it will get better.  I've got some sugar free syrups coming to help me...I'm still sore in my incisions but every day is better.  I cannot lay on my side yet so that hurts and frustrates me some but I know it will be okay and I will get to lay on my side soon enough.  

I am going to kick butt at this.  I will succeed!
