I just went to the doctor today for my 1 week check-up and everything is going so good that I can now start mushies and within a week go to soft foods! I am so excited I scheduled my first fill for July 6th. My doctor likes to fill about once a month to really help with the weight loss, so I am nervous, but excited to be progressing towards that first fill.
I had sugar free pudding today for the first time in awhile and it was sooooo good! I'm excited to move to a stage that isn't liquid and actually contains food! I was told I could have very thin lunch meats, string cheese, beans, etc. so I am stoked about spending dinner actually eating with my family instead of me drinking and them eating! As long as I can tolerate this food then I can progress to other things. Hopefully I can tolerate it and not have to go back to liquids!
So today is June 3rd, and I am finally starting to feel good. It's been a little rough the last few days. I haven't really had any nausea, but I have been running to the bathroom the past few mornings after drinking a protein drink or eating sugar free jello.
I was exhausted the past few days so I started taking B12 vitamins and adult chewable vitamins and I feel really good today. I woke up this morning feeling great--barely sore, less gas . . . I hope it lasts throughout the day!
I see the doctor on Friday to check my incision sites, and I'm hoping that he puts me on Mushies because I am sooooo hungry. My stomach is growling! It's ridiculous! We'll see. I've lost 20 lbs so far 11 of that is after the surgery. I still feel the same, but that's why my nurse told me to take weekly pics of myself to compare to each other so that even though I think I look the same I can look at the picture and see how I'm losing weight. So I'm planning on taking another picture on Friday a week from my surgery date to see how I've changed compared to my post-op picture. My husband says he can see it, but I still can't. Oh well. Hopefully the picture will help.
