Two weeks post-op

Went for my two week check yesterday - moved up to stage 3 diet (pureed foods) and lost 14 lbs in the two weeks. Have been feeling fine, trying to walk everyday. Trying to work out a routine before I go back to work of getting in my excercise and vitamins - it's hard to do some days. Still doing protein shakes in-between food. Everything seems to be staying down fine! Meg

Hi Meg, Glad to hear you are doing well. I wanted to know since your 2 weeks out if you feel you could go back to holding babies and toddlers since this is what I do for a living. Do you feel you could lift a 1 yr old up onto a changing table or pick them up out of a highchair ? Thanks

I have felt like I could pick anything up since I came home from the hospital - I just haven't because I don't want to rip anything (stiches) on the inside. My doctor said not to lift anything heavy than a gallon of mil****il my 4 week check. Thanks for the words of encouragement from everyone!

Meg, congrats! 14lbs in two weeks is fantastic!!! I bet the routine part of it is hard, that's the part that makes me entirely nervous. Thankfully, my nut says she'll write me an entire daily schedule so I can get it all in. Phew! I so hope that will be the ticket for me. You must be doing something right though because you're well on your way!! So, keep up the fine work! Tin K

Meg! wow you go gurl! congratulations! it is all downhill now! Nancy
