So today I finally had my first post op visit today.  I have lost 30 lbs since my last weight in a few days before surgery!  I am super happy with that. 

The doctor said of course that I am doing great.  He is the best doctor though he has a great sense of humor and laughs at my jokes so I love that! lol I did talk to him about my one incision still bugging me and he said that a nerve may have gotten nicked because I am experiencing more pain that typical.  Unfortunately though it was feeling much better till yesterday I managed to strain the muscle again on accident.  It isn't horrific pain but it is hindering me from doing anything too physical. 

I am also finally cleared to go on to purees, which I am happy about but I have to admit purees sound so gross.  He said if I am doing really well that I can get started on soft foods by the end of the week.  I can not wait for soft foods!!

I think that the two weeks of liquids was so hard!!

That is great. I thought purees were going to be bad, but I was just happy to have something with consistency. LOL

Thanks peeps! 

So far I have to admit the purees are not as bad as I expected.  I don't think I will wait too long before I start trying some soft foods too.
