1 week 2 days post op and doing good

Hey everyone, Thought it was about time I checked in.  I feel 1000% better than a week ago.  Thought I was dying LOL.  I haven't weighed myself yet, Iknow the first few weeks can be a yoyo and I don't want to get discouraged. I have my post op appt. on Friday and get this STUPID drain out.  I swear it is the most irritating thing in the world, that and my dog thinks it a toy for him and keeps trying to dive for it, Uhhhg. I still am a bit sore especially the drain port that is pulling at the stiches so I know as soon as I get it out I will feel a lot better.  Started really walking yesterday, just didn't feel up to it, but I did a good 10 min today and I am going to start building.  Most of the time I have to wait until evening because of the heat!! I am living with two bottles by my side as we speak, one with protien shake and another with water and that is how I have been since I got home.  I know I haven't hit 60 g protien yet but I am working on it.

Honestly the hardest thing I am finding is when to stop drinking.  I don't feel hungry and I don't feel full, I only feel the OVER FULL, so I am going to have to really use my 1oz cups to measure becasue I have the overfull feeling. I am glad to be back and love you all Trish

Great to see you, Trish.  Making protein goals while on liquids can be challenging.  Keep sipping the water.  That full feeling does make one uncomfortable. Keep up the good work. Hugs, Trish

Hi Trish.. so glad to know that you are still with us and doing good..  it's been 3 years since my surgery, but I remember *barely* the feeling of .. "I must drink/eat something just to get some protein in me.. " but not wanting too.. but oh the head hunger.  I watched the food channel constantly .. and never had pre-wls.. .. it must of been a phase 'cause at some point I've stopped watching it again.  take care and hugs, Rhonda

Hiya beautiful! I'm so glad to hear you are recovering from your surgery so well!  The measuring everything was really key for me in the first few months.  in a couple of years, this part will be a distant memory and so much of what you do will be habit and ingrained.  Take it easy on yourself! Sending healing vibes! Love, Michelle
