2 week post op &......

Today I had a follow up appointment with my surgeons office. Everything is going great. My incisions, all 7 of them, all healing nicely. She, the nurse practioner, is pleased with the food and protein consumption that I have been getting in. She graduated me to the next food stage. I am on a soft, but fairly normal diet. With this new stage there is so much more that I can eat. I am able to try cereals, oatmeals, cooked vegetables, super small amounts of tuna or chicken chopped finely, with mayo. If all goes well, when I go back in 2 weeks, for my 4 week check up, she may let me try raw vegetables which rocks, because all I have wanted is a salad with chicken pieces. The best news of all is that since pre op, 3 weeks before surgery, I am down 24 lbs and in the 2 weeks since my surgery, since today is 2 weeks to the day, I have lost 14 lbs. That is a pound a day. A pound a day that is GONE FOREVER. I can not begin to tell you how much different I feel with that weight gone. Ok. enough. I just wanted to toot my own horn! Tooooot!
