Not to shabby :-)

I had my three month post-op follow-up appointment today. My surgeon's PA was very happy with my progress and so am I.

She said she would normally be worried I was losing too fast but I started with a lot of lymph edema which is shrinking rapidly which accounts for a large amount of fluids. I felt great because I have been focusing on Protein and fluids and the results are showing.

This first three months has flown by.

I hesitate to share because it is relative since I started at a high number, but my high weight was 565 (week before surgery) and I was 431 today.

Can't believe tomorrow will be our 1 year surgeversary. Hows everyone doing? I know I have been at a stall for about 6 months, very frustrating, but going for plastics consult May 5th.

Happy Surgiversary! I am doing great. I have lost just over 200 and pounds and have about that much more to go.

I feel great and am regaining my mobility and getting my life back.

This year has flown by!

I'm April 20th 10 am. I only had to do liquid diet for three days. Not as difficult as I thought it would be as strange as it sounds!

Surgery was at 10 am yesterday (Wednesday 4/20), I left the hospital today (Thursday 4/21) around 4 pm. I do have constriction in my esophagus which was discovered during an upper endoscopy in February. They had to bring the Endo Team in to intubate me for surgery. My throat is pretty swollen and sore. Pain was under control with morphine every 2 hours. This morning prior to my X-ray to confirm no leaks I began to feel nauseated. I believe this was due to being NPO all Wednesday into Thursday. I am exhausted from all the interruptions in sleep (nurses checking your vitals, etc) I came home and took a 4 hour nap. I got up to take some meds and plan to go back to bed. With the esophageal constriction I have not been able to take in many fluids but my surgeon said that will come. I will concentrate on resting up tonight and my Fluid intake tomorrow.
