1 Week post op - GOALS!
Hi Everyone!
Well i'm one week out and FEELING SOOO much better. I still feel a bit "emotional" but I wonder if it's hormones. I was supposed to have my period on March 1 - the day of surgery but I'm so happy that it was late and I got it today...so that can all factor in.
My pouch is happy with most liquids, it's a little iffy on the premier protein, so i've switched to my KAIZEN powder which I tolerate without issue. I also am LOVING MY BROTHS (i mean how great is that?! considering how exciting can broth be?) but I like it, it feel like a warm hug! I also am managing to hit the 60 protein goal, I mean it's a lot of creativity to get it all in but it's going...
I'm down 13 pounds and it's most noticeable in my feet and ankles. I used to have a LOT of swelling but now all my shoes are too big. I can also fit back into my Xl/L tops. I haven't tried on any pants because I'm a pear...and the bottom half is always the last to change.
Thank you again for all your support and advice, it really helped me through.
