8 weeks post-op
Jun 16, 2011
SO today is 8 weeks post-op and my first blog entry. My surgery was 4/21/11 with Dr. Lord at Sacred Heart Hospital, in Pensacola FL. I started this endeavor at 277lbs. my highest weight ever (how embarrassing). It took me exactly 7 month from the start of my supervised weight loss suregery to get my surgery date. It moved really quickly for me as I had a change in my insurance on 5/1/2011, thanks to my Dr's office it was possible.I joined a gym at 6 weeks post-op and make myself go at least 3 days a week for 1hr and 15 mins, weights and cardio. I already have skin, yuck, but at least I am on the path of becoming healthy.
As for my weight I weigh every few days and this morning am at 224lb. It's amazing at how easily the wieght just falls off.
The only complication i have had is that I have a very sesitive pouch, it doesn't like much of anything. Meat and anything reheated is a no-no. Peanut Butter is my friend. Fluid has not been an issue as I have always been a drinkaholic. I do miss my Diet Coke, but oh well.
Good Luck to all of you out there and I hope to post every few weeks or so.
