2 Weeks Postop

May 06, 2009

I am 2 weeks (and 2 days) postop and feeling pretty good for the most part.  And the best part is that I survived these 2 weeks.  There is always information available for before and after surgery, but nobody warned me of all the changes and everything that happens to you within those first 2 weeks.  Lesson learned, but I made it through anyway.

I had my first postop apt today and everything went very well.  I have lost a total of 33 pounds,  18 of that since surgery.  I didn't really think that those numbers were all that great, but the doctor said that I am doing very well.  I guess he knows best.  He said not to be too hard on myself, so I guess I better listen.  He did release me to return to work this coming Monday (May 11th).  I am excited and ready to go back, but not really.  Now that I am feeling better, I want to be outdoors walking and enjoying the beautiful weather.  I am not ready to be stuck behind my desk yet.  But I guess it is best to get back into my routine (or so my husband says).

I have my first bite of real food today, cottage cheese.  I really never liked cottage cheese before surgery, but I have to say that it tasted WONDERFUL today.  Something other than liquids!!  I can now start on the pureed diet, which I am looking forward too.

Thank you to everyone for you continued support and well wishes.  HUGGGGGGGGS to everyone!!!
