exactly two weeks post op

[onlybeenthicke 23]

This has been a rough two weeks. I ended up having two surgeries. I had a hernia they fixed at the same time. I am very independent so having to have help and realize my limitations has been rough. The first week was nothing but pain. This past week ive been stronger, and I even got on the treadmill. I listened to my body though, 25 min is apparently my cutoff this week. Maybe next week will be 30. I have my two week checkup monday. I already know I am down 21 lbs. Im excited to be okd for smooshy food. Ive bought my food processor and ordered books. And I ordered skin tightening moisturizer. I want to avoid extra skin as much as possible. Well....thats all I can think of right now. Look forward to speaking with people going through the same thing.

Congrats on your surgery, glad you're ok and it sounds like your getting better, good luck on your journey and oh...don't go crazy wasting money on those skin tightening creams, I've heard from several people that it can get very costly and doesn't prevent or improve sagging skin. I feel like some of us stop buying weight loss pills but replace it with skin tightening cremes. And look where that got us lol. Save your money.

Thank you. I was still sore today but managed to do 40 minutes walking uphill. I know it was a shot in the dark with the tightening lotion. Just figured I'd rather try and know rather than not try.
