Week Six (my first blog post)

Jul 07, 2011

Well, I made it to week six, and except for some complications due to constipation, I've had a pretty uneventful time with my WLS.  Yes, I'm burping more, and yes, my pouch is one touchy son of a gun, but that is all manageable.  When the little fella is acting up, I just concentrate on my liquids and vitamins.  When it wants to play ball, I enjoy steak, meatballs, fish, canned veggies, and canned fruits without problems. Last week, I started my Ursodil in order to try and prevent gallstones, and let me tell you, those pills are HUGE. I didn't think I could get them down, but as has become the norm for me post-op, they slid right down without any problems. So far I've lost about 46lbs since my surgery date, and about 70lbs since my before photos. I'm feeling pretty good, but I'm still getting weak pretty quickly when doing any sort of activities. It's not debilitating, just a pain in the posterior.
