July 27,2009 Happy one week Anniversary to me! The first week was tough hardly had much fluids going down but my vitamens and protein were going down well. I am going to be strong today and make sure the water intake equals the 64oz. I am determined to do this right . The passed 3days haven't took any naps during the day and not so tired anymore. My walks should be longer but I do like 3-5 times daily for about 10 mins. I know it should be more but babysteps work my way up.
July 31, 09 Today was my fist post-op appointment of 11days, lost 15lbs. I was 242 lost 12/2 before surgery so let's do the math and the total is about27lbs all together. My surgeon requested me to have a ob/gyn appointment in a few weeks as well as my PCP to check everything to make sure all is good. Loosing rapid weight can also do some damage but not to worry this is why we check up with the Dr.'s. The reality of this weight loss is starting to hit me and it feels so good. Need to work on getting my fluids down.
August 17,2009 Second follow up appointment and was weighed in, when I read the scale it said 208 lbs. and they always take off 2lbs for clothing, but, for some reason, the nurse writes down 204lbs. I asked her why did you take off that much? The nurse said ' That's how she does it" I mean the more the better but would like accurate numbers. I am happy with the results and will never look back. I still get tired and do walk more, my concern is my fluid intake still not up to what it should be. The dr. said if I don't start getting the fluids in difficulties will start like dehydration and constipation which just started happening. I tried to eat coldcuts, boiled chicken, chicken salad, and it all tasted disgusting! yucky yuck but what I did enjoy was homemade chili with ground turkey added shredded cheese and ricotta cheese yummy , turkey bacon, and tomorrow going to make homemade turkey meatballs see how that goes. I will not try anything at work just in case. I return to the dr. in three month right before Thanksgiving. I will keep you guys updated oh one more thing most exciting thing is clothes are starting to get big hahahah!
