Exactly 2 weeks out today - ick for the bean soup

So Today I'm exactly two weeks out. At this point if i couldn't eat so little, I might not know that anything happened. I am currently having an allergic reaction to the dissolving stitches in each of my incisions, so there are welts around them. But the doctor looked and said they're still healing ok and to take some benedryl and use some hydrocortizone around them. I am onto soft/mushy food now. I ate some bean soup today and it is the first thing so far to make me puke. I tried a little bit of beans once before and got sick feeling. I think I dumped or something. Not sure how that's possible, but I had all the signs. I'm trying to drink all my water and stuff, but it's hard to remember to drink water every few minutes. I'm down -16 so far. Not too shabby. The first 5 days or so I lost nothing, I was even higher from being pumped with liquid in the hospital. I was discouraged until things started moving. So that's just my experience so far. The gas sucks. I hope this might help anyone else to commiserate.

Kristen, I am glad you are doing so well, well except for the bean soup...hope that doesn't happen to you again any time soon. congrats on the weight loss too. Holly

Kristin, Sorry about the on the bean soup. What a bummer. I am so looking forward to gettting to progress to soft diet. A 16 pound weight loss that is AWESOME!!!! I am a week out and up a pound. Like you, I didn't weigh when I got home from the hospital, as I knew I was up. I will wait for my 2 week check-up to weigh again. Here's hoping you found something to satisfyyour new pouch. Jackie
