4 Week Post Op Update
Jul 22, 2009
Greeetings All:I haven't been here in about 2 weeks. Within those two weeks, I have gone through a lot. Early in week three, I was extremely tired and fed up with liquids only ! I did not know what else to do. The only thing that I can seem to drink is water. I must admit, I had some days of relapse, where I ate or drank something that I wasn't supposed to. The amount of what I ate and drank were not to the point that it made me sick or have the dumping syndrome.....thank GOD However, I am thankful for my friends and support system who have undergone this procedure before me and told me that I needed to jump back on the right track. They knew what I was feeling and told me NOT to do it again!
Well, today marks week 4 post op for me and my diet says that I can add honeydew melon, cantelope, and watermelon. While I am not a fan of honeydew or cantelope, I love watermelon. I am so glad that I can add something with flavor and substance to my diet. I will try a little today and see how my stomach reacts. I must admit, the hardest part for me has been sticking to the liquid diet. I am looking forward to week 5 and 6 when I can add some tuna and chicken salad to the diet.
On another note, I have to confess that I have incorporated more exercise. I have joined a water aerobics class that I absolutely LOVEand I purchased a Wii Fit board that I will start using this week! I have lost a little more weight, but not in the double digits! I guess this will eventually change back!
