10 day post op appt

It went well!  The staples pinched a bit as they came out, but not too bad!  As soon as they were out it felt better!  Dr Loggins and Corrinne were very happy with my progress so far!  I am anemic, so I have to get back on the iron (Dr L said I could wait until Monday when I can start taking uncrushed pills).  I start purees on Monday!!  I can't wait!  I put a blog on my profile with more details is anyone is interested.  Thanks for all your kind words and support before this appointment!  I was really nervous for some reason!  That is so NOT like me!  haha  Anyways!  It's done...and off I go to sip some more!  Enjoy this wonderful weather!!!! honks!!!!  Ruth

Ruth, I've been awaiting your return.  Happy all went well, I can SOOOO understand why someone would be anemic doing this crap... A'll i've eaten is jello, popsicles, protein shake,  and cream soup?  for a week.  I am sure many of us are feeling tired, weak and all affraid to eatsomething that will hurt us.  I am very happy we have Dr. Loggin's and he is on top of things.  I can' wait to eat some FOOOOOOD...My brain is telling me one thing and my tummy something else.  YOu have done so well, and now I can't wait to go read the rest of your report.  HOnks girl, bet you can't wait for MOnday. to try some new alternatives.  Water isn't going down good for me, it makes me feel hungry.  I'm going try having a coffee or crystal lite instead.  Have a great day.

opps, one more thing, did you have to bring in a journal???

I didn't NEED the journal but I think Corrinne was happy when I pulled it out and could give her numbers for my fluid and protein intake!

I haven't needed my journal since pre op. It is good to still log for yourself though to make sure you get everything you need in.  Isn't it the most awesome feeling getting rid of those staples. I felt like a whole new person. Glad it went well for you.

bummer we were at the office at the same time and missed each other. glad your appointment went well and you are going to start the next phase soon.

Yeah!  Glad things went so well and I bet you impressed them  by taking out your journal with all the numbers there...Yeah for you ...honk honk...Keep up the great work Ruth, you are doing so awesome...I am so proud of you...Angela

Sounds like you had a great appointment.  I take iron too...I got bariatric advantage chewable passion fruit.  They are like a treat every night...yummy. 

I got the BA chewable strawberry..they are ok, but maybe I shoulda tried the passion fruit!  Maybe next time!  haha

Glad it went well!!!  Isn't it funny to look forward to purees??  I remember savoring the scrambled egg my husband made me ~ it was oh so good!!  Have a wonderful weekend. HONKS & HUGS
