Two Week Post Op Surgery Update

Here is the two week post op surgery update for me.

I have lost a total of 30 pounds per my scale at home.

YAY!!

Tummy, face and boobs are melting away.

Gotta love it.

I still have my staples unfortunately, but they will be taken out on Tuesday October 27th at 1:15 pm.

I also will end my liquid post op diet and start real food again.

YAY!.

I have no pain or soreness at all.

I have no gas.

I have no diarrhea.

I have normal bowel movements.

TMI I know, but it had to be stated since I was revised to Distal.

I have no nausea.

I have no depression or issues with hormone fluctuations.

I do have decreased energy, but that was expected and even though I have it I still get out and about as much as possible.

You can't keep a good ***** down.

LMAO.

I just have extreme itching and that is a direct result of my incision healing where my staples are.

I would say all in my all my whole revision surgery has been a wonderful experience and I have nothing bad to say about it.

I am looking forward to using my tool the best way I know how and that is by following the rules.

I am still getting in my protein first, 64 ozs or more of water, vitamin supplements, walking, and following my surgeons guidelines daily.

It is just that simple.

I do what I have to do to achieve the goals that I want to achieve.

It is not always easy, but it has to be done in order for me to accomplish my goals.

I will not be a failure.

Failing is not acceptable in my world.

I will be so happy when I am released to go back to the gym so I can lose even more weight.

I am on a mission and nothing and no one will be able to stand in my way.

Thank you all for your support.

Have an absolutely fabulous weekend.

Be kind to yourselves and one another.

Good for you Teena!

Keep up that positive attitude!!

Thank you.

How is you working out coming along?

 Teena,

I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well. Thirty pounds is an amazing weight-loss! Just amazing. Bet you can't wait until your follow-up appointment. Your surgeon is going to be THRILLED with your progress! Congratulations!!

Stormy,

Thanks.

I am curious as to what he will say tomorrow when I get on the scale.

I am hella excited.

I hope all is well in your world.

Hi Teena,
So glad all is going so well for you.  And the weight loss is great.  I can't wait to be on the losing side again.  I am on a mission also, I will get the BCBS approval and I will be losing weight with my revision.
