2.1 Week Post Op

So I had my first Post Op appointment on Monday (5/2/11) and they weighed me in and just asked how everything was going basically. The surgeon pulled the rest of my steri-strips off which hurt like HELL! And he had the nerve to say, "At least you don't have a hairy stomach!" <--- Thank God for that!!!

 

I'm scheduled for my first fill on June 6th! He didn't say how much he'd put in and I didn't remember to ask after my skin was ripped off! But he did say that by the time I came back I'd be back on real food, and he basically said anything soft was good. "No pizza, or subway subs..." was what he said, but I'm planning on doing a low carb/no carb diet anyway so whatever!...

 

He just basically said to do another week or two of ful liquids (I'll be choosing to do just another week, LoL!) and then move on to soft, "remember to chew chew chew!" and if all else fails "chew some more" and they also reminded me to put my fork down in between bites, no drinking with meals, and to stop eating as soon as I become full...

 

I'm down 21 pounds since first stepping foot in that doctor's office and a total of 30 pounds since my heighest weight. I've had a one or two people not really notice or say they don't see it, and everyone else is just all about how much thinner I look. I don't see it just yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if I lost 100lbs and still didn't see it, LoL!

 

NonScaleVictories!!!

Well, the last few times I've had my blood pressure checked, it's been within normal range! I think I'm the happiest about this! I'm TOO young to have high blood pressure, and I'm so glad that I won't have to take BP meds anytime soon!

My favorite cargo skirt from Old Navy is falling OFF! Mind you when I first bought this a few years ago, I bought it at a size 24 because I don't like skirts fitting me tight around my hips... I think it makes me look funny because my midsection goes OUT inside of IN like a real "coca-cola" bottle shape, but anyway, it was still my fave skirt, and now it literally falls off of me while I'm walking...

Also, a lot of my scrub bottoms are falling off now too! No matter how tight I tie them, they still slide off my butt...

My "aunt" (my mom's best friend) told me my bust looked like it was getting smaller :( BOOOO! I then groped myself and they do feel a little lighter! I hope I don't end up with "tube socks"!

 

Well I think that's all for now... OH, before I forget, don't want you guys to think I'm doing nothing! : I'm enjoying riding the sedentary bike for about 30 minutes a day... It's really hot down here in Florida and the sun and heat just dry all the energy up out of me, so I havent done any outside walking/jogging, but I've been planning to get some exercise in at the pool very soon!

 

Okay that's definitely it for now!

Great Job

I was banded 4/20 and have chewed and chewed some more. I Have eaten mushies at a little under week 3. I will be filled the same time as you. No carbs or veggies yet.

I did have a slice of thin crust pizza and it all went well. Im kinda looking foward to a fill. I hear about things getting stuck or ppl feeling very sick after eating but not for me so that worries me a little.

What have you been eating?

:o:o

I was just writting to keep myself accountable... but I'm on regular foods now, and doing excellent! I've had one fill with a total of 5.3cc in my 10cc band and I've had no PBs or stuck episodes... I go for another fill/checkup on July 18th, so I hope I will have lost more by then... Hope everything is going great for you!</P>
