Ta Da - one week post op and down 16 lbs

Went for my one week post-op today with Dr. Houston (he really is wonderful). I had lost 16 pounds. He said I was doing great. I have no pain except that stupid TMJ thing is still bothering me. Anyway I have been riding my exercise bike for 30 minutes every night (it's a recumbent bike-I highly recommend; much better than the upright ones). I can restart my CPAP tonight. Can go swimming on Saturday. Have not had ANY medication for Blood sugar since pre-op, only 1 lasix the day after I came home but am still having to take potassium supplements. Hate the protein drinks but will survive them for another week. Today was rough making a trip 360 miles round trip to see the doc. Didn't take the right food/drink with me so I was starving by the time I got home. God is Great God is Good. I thank Him so for His goodness and mercy to me throughout this journey.

Thats great....You keep up the good work!!! I am impressed with exercise bike... I wanted to use one but I am so short they hurt me more... I am walking like crazy and doing floor exercises.... Take care and keep on going...Yes God is Great and God is Good!!!!!! We thank him everyday for bringing us thru this... Robin 317/261/145

I had surgery at Cenntenial too. They do a great job. Congrats on your loss. Hang in there with the protein drinks. Getting to eat real food will make you feel a lot better! Jules
