So today was my two week post op with my doctor. I went in feeling a little nervous that they wouldn't be happy with my progress........
 
I found out that I've lost a total of 23 lbs since my last visit and that he's happy with the progress so far!! My lab work came back good, again I had concerns about dehydrations since I'm struggling with drinking enough water......
 
As for meeting with the dietician, she gave me my new diet to follow which consists of a little more variety but still no solids and everything has to be pureed ( hope I spelled that right)..........
 
And finally, tomorrow is my first day back to work...........
 
So we'll see how that goes!!
 
All in all, not a bad day!! :0)

First, I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the positive comments I received from my first post. Secondly, I've realized that I'm not the only one who has faced struggles. I've also learned that I need to take baby steps, this is a slow process, but the end result is what I hunger for. I can't push myself any faster than my body will go. I've got to have faith in my doctor's thought process when it comes to the diet, slow and steady does win the race. I found out the hard way the other day what happens if you rush things, I was so excited to eat scrambled eggs, that I ate too quickly and the end result was me getting sick!! Getting sick is something I hate, so lesson learned. I'm still getting used to drinking water in small sips instead of giant gulps but I've had no trouble with drinking the correct amount of protein drinks. Looking forward to my first follow up appt. with my doctor and as for weight, I'm down to 286.4 today from 298 (typo in the first post) on 2/15/12 which was the first day out of the hospital, I had my surgery on 2/13/12. So for being post surgery by 11 days, I can finally say I'm happy, I'm happy to be baby stepping towards my goal!! Thanks again
