My first real food in 2 weeks!!!
Well, I went for my first post-op follow-up today & things went well!! I lost an addt'l 20lbs since the last time I was there on 10/18!! I was flabbergasted!!! 64.4lbs since the end of July!!!!! Who loses 20lbs a week or so after surgery??? Almost every post I read said it took weeks to lose more weight!! What a nice surprise!!!
I had my first meal tonight!! I pulled out the paperwork from my NUT & went by one of her suggested menus. I had 2 tbs mashed potatoes w/a couple shreds of cheese, 2 tbs of scrambled egg w/a couple of shreds of cheese too & 2 tbs of green beans!! Can I just say that the chopped up (pureed) green beans was weird to look at but it mixed well with my taters!!!). I ate really slow & used my baby spoon (yup, MY baby spoon... I know my mom is up there laughing at me shaking her head!!!). Everything tasted so good & so far it's staying put!!!! I am dying for a drink though but I have to wait another hour!!! UGH!!! And can I say I can't wait for the nasty anesthesia taste in my mouth to go away?!! The dr said soon!! YUCK!!
Oh & BTW, that pain in my leg hasn't been back since I posted about it the other day!! Maybe it was just how I was sleeping!!! Oh yeah & my pain is pretty much gone!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Just thought I'd share my excitement!!!
