Had my 2 week post op
2 week post op check up!
Everything looks good! I can walk my dog, I can do 5 lb weights, I can do elliptical. I can drink water as fast as I am comfortable with (it was a rate of 8oz/hr). Incisions are mostly healed, I can take baths again. I have to wait another week before I can eat pureed foods (boo!) I am getting a medical bracelet that indicates I had the surgery and I that I can’t have a blind NG tube insertion and no NSAIDS. I will also be getting a medical card that should allow me to purchase kids meals, pay kids prices at buffets, things like that.
Weight loss:
I was 240 6 weeks ago
I was 225 before surgery
I am 213 today
Goal: 150 pounds. I already weigh less than I have in about 10 years, maybe longer. I feel fantastic! Thanks for all of the continued support on this forum. You are all truly wonderful and motivating!

Wow, what a great post op appointment!! I have mine tomorrow and I hope I can get in the gym and hit the elliptical. The Med alert bracelet sounds like a great idea too, never thought of that. Now, the part about the medical card for kids' meals and prices? How'd you manage that? That's dope! Excited for ya!!

Thanks Kristy. I will definitely ask at my appointment tomorrow and see what the doc suggests about the bracelet. Hope you're having a great week.
