Well today is one week. I see my surgeon tomorrow, which is kind of exciting. I didn't see him after surgery. I got discharged by the nurse practitioner before he came in to see me the next day per my request. I got discharged about 24 hours after surgery. I am interested to see how things went being an operating room nurse I like to know the procedure part of things. I am having minimal pain. Nausea is finally subsiding. I am not hungry. Just a little weak at the end of the day. I am getting all my fluid in and all my protein. So far so good. Hopefully soon I will be posting about some weight loss
I found something awesome today! It's called Healthy Choice greek frozen yogurt. It comes in little containers perfect for us sleevers!I saw a couple different flavors. Vanilla bean, strawberry, dark fudge swirl & another I don't remember. I tried the fudge swirl today. It is very good. Not too sugary & our little tummies r able to tolerate it! I am not sure the specifics on nutrition because I threw the box away but I wouldn't have bought them if it wasn't a wise choice. Good luck to everyone. I also bought strawberry, I will let u know how it tastes in a couple days.
I found the nutrition info... Calories 100, total fat 2g, sat fat 1g, trans fat 0, cholesterol 10mg, sodium 45mg, potassium 125mg, total carb 17g, dietary fiber 1g, sugars 11g, and protein 4g. The other flavor is blueberry. Hope you all enjoy this info and treat yourself to something good, yet not so bad for yourself.
I see the surgeon tomorrow. It will be 1 month after my 1 week post op visit. While I was with my trainer today I had him measure my fat percentage. I am down to 45% from 48.6 last year I can't wait until I am under 40 BMI. Good luck to everyone and happy new year!
Today I saw the surgeon... Unfortunately I have sprouted a bump at one of my incisions. It is either a seroma, hematoma, or hernia. Whatever it is we just have to wait. Either the body will re-absorb it or if its a hernia the surgeon said we will wait until I lose weight to do surgery so there isn't so much pressure on it. I am doing well with weight loss. I am 3.5 pounds down from pre-op. I had a good conversation today about embracing my second chance at weight loss. I called the trainer today, back to training on saturday and back to work on Monday. My restrictions will be lifted at that time. I am not hungry and am enjoying my new appreciation of the commitment to be lifelong change. I am willing to try new foods in pursuit of obtaining the proper nutrition.
