Post-Op appt. with surgeon

Dec 22, 2010

I had my follow up today with my surgeon. I've lost 16 pounds since surgery. I've been promoted to pureed foods, and forgot to ask about the galbladder medicine, I think I should be taking. I am feeling really good! No pain anymore. I do tire easy. Went to Wal-Mart after appointment, and found I couldn't shop quite as long as would of liked to. It's weird, but I keep forgetting I had major surgery 8 days ago.
I was so excited to have something different to eat. I came home and fixed a can of Campbells Cream of Chicken soup. Measured out 3 tablespoons, and ate (slurped) slowly. It was yummy, but was thinking, it's still a liquid, only with tiny pieces of chicken. I tolerated it well though. Made up some chicken salad also. Going to try some for dinner tonight. Hopefully that will be tolerated as well! Of course I haven't even felt hunger since surgery. I'm eating because I know I need too. NEVER thought I would say that in my life!!
I've been looking on line at wigs and hair pieces. I know I will need one. I've been thinning for the last 10 years, this past year especially bad. I know I've lost more than 1/2 of my hair. It only took me all these years to realize,  it's probably the blood pressure medicine I was on. I had such thick curly hair. I can make it look fuller with hair product, but to know I'm going to shed even more has prompted to get something within the next month.
I'll update more in a couple of weeks. God Bless and Merry Christmas
