5 Days Out And Here's My Story

[Mrtiger1 12]

Started my preop diet Aug 25th. Weighed 385. Had surgery on Aug 30th. (yes I was suppossed to start a couple days sooner, but it was hard) I did cheat one day and had a cheeseburger and fries. On Aug 30th before surgery, I weighed 369. Today I am at 363. Had surgery Thursday, came home Friday, walked a mile Saturday, walked 2 miles Sunday, walked 3 miles yesterday. I am almost pain free in my abdomen. craving food, but the thought of throwing up scares me from trying anything. I have only thrown up like 3 times in my life. 39 year old male by the way. Everything is going smooth and easy. Oh, and I am back at work today and having no issues. One thing I will say is I have done everything the doctors have asked. Protein Shakes, creamed Soups, Water, sugar free Jello and pudding, and thats pretty much it. I can't see into the future, but for now, this was very easy and pretty much painless.

wow - things are going terrific for you

all that walking you've been doing - great early exercise

soon, when you want to resume a more rigorous fitness program - take it slow - remember you are recovering from majory surgery

make sure dr. approves you before you start more strenuous exercise in the future

don't rush into anything

sounds like you are a real go-getter

back to work this soon after WLS - you must feel great

keep up the terrific work

see you around the board

good luck
