1st post op appt
Well today I went for my first post op appt. and it went great. I am 282 lbs my BMI was 41. I have lost a total of 27.4 lbs since pre-op and 19% of my body fat. My doctor was proud of me and told me it was ok for me move to soft foods if I felt comfortable. I tried a small piece of baked salmon and was extremly uncomfortable. So I will try again tomorrow. Still no dumping and my energy level is great. Vitimans and protein going great. This was the best thing I ever done in my life besides my kids and my husband. What makes me feel even better is when people that were skeptical about the procedure see me and are shocked at how well I am doing. My support time has been awesome and I owe them so much. My husband and I have planned to renew our vows next April at Daytona Beach and I can't wait to see the new me on our wedding day.
Congratulations Bobby ... WOW .. you did amazing !!
The hardest thing for me was introducing my new pouch to new foods . Things like fish , need to be moist for me ... And always remember , to chew , chew, chew ... . When we had our old stomachs it was really no thought into taking a bite , a couple chews then swallow , Now .. it is very important that the food be chewed good .
I can tell you are excited . It is awesome to see how positive you are . This surgery saved ny life and I would do it again in a NY minute ..,..,
I too was married in April ,, April 7th ... We will be married 5 years ... It is hard to believe ... I cannot wait to see you in your new wedding gown ... it brings me to tears to know how great you are going to look and feel .
If you ever need anything , have questions please feel free to call on me ..
Lot's of Love ,
