1 week post op :)

Hi! I am doing pretty well~today is 1 week since my surgery and I am down 12 pounds already. I go back to Grinnell this Friday for a checkup. I wish I slept better at night but I'm sure that will improve when I don't have to sleep on my back the whole night! I can sit for long periods at the computer and it doesn't bother me much so that gives me something to do besides tv for now! I am anxious to be able to do some walking. I can get to the mailbox and back with little problems but anything much further and I tire pretty easily. Getting in the water, protein and a little pureed food doesn't seem to be a problem. Do I do this for another month???????????????? I guess I'll find out more on Friday! Hugs to all of you!!!!!!!! Lezlie

Congratulations Lezlie. I had mine December 22, 2003 with Dr. Eibes in Grinnell (He's now in Des Moines), but anyway, they told me to drink water, do the protein, and that I could eat baby food, mashed potatoes, something that doesn't have bites, (had to be smooth). That was what I was told. Good luck to you. Lisa Young

I am not sure.....every program varies so darn much. It is totally normal to tire out quickly. Good job about the water and protein....you should count your blessing with that......also good job on the 12lbs Take Care and wishing you a speedy recovery!!! Take Care jesi
