Four Plus Weeks Post Op
11/22/05:
I am four+ weeks post op and am down 53 pounds from my pre opt appointment. I am pretty much back to full activity. Taking most of my medications without crushing them. Using chewable calcium and multi vitamins. I have gone down one size in clothes so I am now into clothes I have not had on in three years. I have not yet dumped even though I have sampled things that might make me dump. I do not think about food at all. When I get hungry, I am ravenous, but it takes only a few bites of food and I am full. I can go out to eat with my wife and do not feel deprived and do not covet what she is having. I have had some minor constipation problems, but overall this experience with WLS surgery and its aftermath has been very smooth. On another subject, Mary starts her two-week pre surgery Carnation Instant Breakfast routine on this coming Friday. You should see our refridgerator. It is filled with high protein little single serving frozen meals that I still cannot eat all of at one setting. By the way, I ordered CIB by the case from http://carnationinstantbreakfast.com. The upside of this is that you can order the variety pack which has flavors that we have never found in our grocery stores.
