 SO...its two weeks post opt....and the Dr. said I could finally be on soft foods. Did I tell you how good it feels to CHEW!
The Dr. told me everything I was feeling was normal.  Im still not taken enough protein and not drinking enough water.  Dr. Lowe told me he was not concern about the intake of protein (my body is using my stored up fat for its protein)  HA HA 
The Dr. told me to drink crystal light and some diet juices. Since water alone hurts when I drink cuz my "pouchita" is still healing.  Guess the juices kinda coat my insides.

The only bummer thing, is that I cannot drink coffee and hot tea's anymore. It KILLS my "pouchita".....all foods and drinks are all room temp....for now...lets hope.

Other then that, I lost another 1lb.   So Im 256.  HELLO
Im feeling better then last week, but this week comes with a new set of problems.   Dr. Lowe told me every week will get better. 

14 days post opt.

So I went to see Dr. Lowe for my follow up, and he told me what I was feeling was normal.  He told me that he expects me to feel this way and in a week for two I should be feeling ALOT better.  
So the next day, I woke up and felt SOOO much better. I actually got out of my house and whent shopping!!  YEAH. 
Im still sore and still having trouble getting more then 10-15 grams of protein in me. But Im drinking more liq's and feeling much better about it.

Oh and I lost 25 MORE pounds!  Im officially 257.... DUDE!!!! 

My capri pants that I was wear are WAY to big for me. And the capris that are were tight....fit me lose!  I just cannot believe this. I have no regrets and just gotta get this little hump behind me. I mean come-on....Im only 9 days out!

 

I made it through....Im home and feeling totally awesome.  The surgery went perfectly.  Dr. Lowe sd he was proud of my liver, cuz it had shrinked down do much. He sd all he had to do was just flip it over to get to my stomach.  I was so proud of my liver. 

I wasn't to nervous til they split me and my husband and mom apart. They wheeled me into the surgery room and gave me some "jungle juice" .  I was joking with the staff about shaving my legs and before I knew it, I was in the recovery room.  OH THE PAIN.        It felt like the very beginnings of labor pains.  I didn't except that at all.  But they gave me some meds and I began to feel better.  The recovery nurse was a little bitchy.  She kept asking about my pain tolerance. I was like....just give me something asshole. 
So they wheeled me into my room and I slept for an hour or so, I started to get up and walk around my room.  I wanted the gas to get out. I was determine to start walking asap.   That night, I was given morphine and something for the nausa.  Then the next day, I got up and started walking to hallways.  I got up every hour and walked the hallsways twice.  

So the Dr. released me and Im home.  Last night I had to take my meds cuz my "pouch" was still hurting a little.  This morning, I went walking a little bit up and down my street.  Just to get this gas out of me. Thats the worse part is the gas. 

But I'll tell you what.....everything whent so smoothly that I feel even more confident that I made the right decision, and Im just so ready for the next step.  Getting active and eating real food soon.
