Pain?
It has been minimal. I would say that I have tried to overdo it a little. I have a 10 month old who I’m not supposed to pick up, but at times I have to. I can feel the pain when I do but I’m trying to be mindful and use mostly my arms and not my stomach muscles. I feel it the most when I get up in the morning after sleeping in the same position for a long time but otherwise I feel almost normal.
Food?
I would just like to say that I- AM- FIRED!! I have absolutely not been following the liquid diet at all this week. I am following the guidelines for mushy/solid foods. I’m not eating anything bad for me and I’m food journaling everything. I am starving though. I can eat almost as much as I did before surgery. I’ve heard this referred to as “Laplanders’ Hell”. I would totally agree. After your stomach swelling goes down… it’s all on you again. You have to have the will power and the strength to make good choices and to not eat what you really want.
Thoughts?
I’m not seeing my doctor again until I’m 6 weeks out from surgery and I’m seriously concerned about gaining again and eating what I want. Time will tell.
Weight?
Things have been slow going but it’s difficult to know for sure. I was using a really great digital scale and now I have my crappy scale. I weighed in at 236 at one point this week and today I weighed in at 231. I hope that 231 is correct.
Surgery Day: 244
Post Op Appointment (Week 1): 239
Week 2: 231
