4 weeks already!
I went for my 4 week post-op check yesterday. I am feeling fab, no complications, have not been sick, no pain. My scars (3 tiny ones, and one of about 2.5cm) are almost invisible now.
I am off my blood pressure meds, and my BP is now normal and I am delighted about that. Also, I had water retention - swollen ankles were the norm for me - that has completely disappeared.
People are starting to notice I look better, and that is probably because I am smiling such a lot too!
I have been cleared for 'normal food' cut up small. No protein powders; Dr Boullenois wants me to get all my nutrients from my food intake. He reminded me no drinking 30 mins before or after a meal.
He warned esp not to drink fluids when eating rice or grains such as couscous or quinoa, as that will swell the grain further and cause severe stomach pain.
My stomach, when I asked him the size etc, is about the size of a (longer) Smartie tube!
Dr B said my weight loss will be 5kgs per month on average,
I'm so happy! :tongue_smilie:
