1 week out from WLS
Today I went back to the doctor for my one week post opt appt and I'm down 13 lbs and happy about that. They want me to drink more protein drinks that have a sour or salty taste rather than a sweet taste and I already have alot of the stuff bough up so going to still try to get them in every once in awhile.They took out my staples and I have a couple of them that's opened and were bleeding alot earlier but not as bad now. I feel a little better today with the lung problem and go to the lung doctor tomorrow. Still don't know what they are going to do about this infection in my neck, waiting to hear back from the nurse. The nurse said my sugars were running high because I've got an infection in me and should level out once I get rid of it. I go back to the surgeon next Tuesday to see how everything is coming along with this asthma etc.

I'm so glad you went to the dr and the 13 lbs is GREAT! Hopefully before long you will get all of the infections and wounds healed and be good to go. Prayers and good thoughts headed your way. Take care of yourself and get the rest you need. (It does feel better to have those staples out doesn't it?)

Cindy,
I'm glad to hear that your appointment with your surgeon went so well. 13 lbs!!!! WOW! It took me a month to lose that much! It looks like you are are moving in the right direction. I'm hoping that your other issues resolve soon so that you can focus on healing and getting up and moving.
Wishing you continued success,
