I am 2 week post op and finally I was able to see my doctor and dietition today. When I was told to get on the scale I was hoping for good numbers but to my dismay I had put on weight. I weighed myself on day 6 post op and at that time I weighed 368, which mean that I was down from the date of surgery 20 plus pounds. The nurse told me I was at 375, I really wanted to cry but when the doctor came in to talk to me, he informed me that gaining a little weight after I’ve healed is normal. That made me feel a little better but he also said that now that the swelling has completely gone down I must maintain a good eating regimen and work out as I was doing before.

Also, I am officially on mushy foods which means, per the dietition that I can pretty much eat anything that can be cut with a fork. The clarification that I got from her is anything except for steak, chicken breast, breads and sweets. So when she told me that, I went straight to Denny’s for breakfast and ate scrambled eggs and sausage. Tonight I had a Chicken Caesar Salad from Boston Market. That salad was sooo good that I could not just put it down even though I was full. I felt so horrible when I was finished but I'm going to have to jog it off tonight. I don’t want to go down that horrible path so I really need to put in the work. I can’t wait to get my first fill… Come on August 17th!!!
