So its been almost a week post op. When I was weighed in at the hospital they said I weighed 296 pounds. I weighed myself on the scale this morning and weighed in at 280.4 pounds. So just in a little under 1 week down 16 pounds!
I am making sure I drink my water, because the whole dehydration and hospital iv etc is not a pleasant thought and i would rather avoid it! lol. Tomorrow starts my chance to add in protein shakes to my diet. I have been restricted to liquid broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles, light yogurt, cream soup strained/watered down, and i can have milk (although honestly I have not had any). Tomorrow adds protein shakes to the equation, and then on Thursday I go to see my surgeon for my first follow up appointment. Next monday I will be 2 weeks post op and I can start my 'mushy' foods... The whole puree type and stuff you can smash down. I am looking forward to getting some scrambled egg, banana, beans, etc. I am excited for that in a week lol.
I am feeling REALLY good, which is shocking. I know I need to watch that I don't do to much. Yesterday I did a bit too much and it was sore time for me for a few hours. Getting dizzy when standing up, light headed, and whole stomach area sore and worn out. Tomorrow Donny goes back to work so I definitely need to watch myself to not over do it tomorrow morning getting the boys up and ready to go.
So, I am going to sign off from here but if you have any questions just let me know :)
