Feeding tube out

Sep 13, 2011

Yesterday marked one month out and I finally got the feeding tube out. Boy did that hurt. After all was done I got to step on the scale. In one month time I lost 19 lbs.  I had lost 16 lbs while on the liquid diet two weeks before surgery. So that's a total of 35 lbs. I already noticed my pants are to big on me. Still feel sore and tired. I dont feel up to par yet. The eating is going o.k.  My stomach lets me know when I had enough, I get this feeling of something being stuck in my throat. Still eating soft foods, anything I can cut with a fork.  Looking forward to cooking some good healthy meals. I'm ready to get my crock pot out. Yummy ! I hope everyone is doing well. This is a long road and we all are on the right path. Take care. God Bless

First doctor visit after surgery

Aug 22, 2011

My first doctor visit went well. They removed my stitches. I still have to leave the feeding tube in for another 4 weeks.  I weighed 208 lbs, last month before surgery I weighed in at 232 lbs. Doctor said I was doing good and my weight will come of gradually. Today was my first day of baby food. The name sound better than what it tasted like. LOL. I did hold it down and no after effect. And more good news , I dont have to do my injections anymore.  YAHOO! Tomorrow Mike goes back to work so I will be on my own. Mike has been there for me 24/7. But I know Mike will call me all day and even send family and friends to check in on me. So it was a good day.

8 days after surgery

Aug 19, 2011

It's been 8 days since I had the surgery.  The pain is getting less but I still can't lay /sleep in bed.  I wish I didn't have to take so many  pills from my other illness.  Between that and the vitamins  it takes me all day.  All day long I sip, sip, sip, pill, pill, pill.
