Two week post-op follow-up
Apr 14, 2009
Well, I had my two week follow-up yesterday with my surgeon. I weighed 247, which is a 24 pound loss since my pre-op appointment. That averages out to about 6 pounds a week.....I'm happy with that. Especially since this past week I haven't really shown any loss on the scale. I guess I'm in a stall and my body is trying to catch up. Anyway, Dr. Lalor said I was right on target, where I should be since surgery. I told him how I had been using the treadmill and varying the speed and incline to change it up a bit. He was happy with that. I asked about joining Curves and he said that would not be a problem as long as I wait a few more weeks to do abdominal exercises. So far, I guess I am one of the lucky ones who hasn't had any problems. Thank God!!! I don't have any trouble getting in the 32+ ounces of liquid that I was told to get in a day. I saw the dietician also while I was there. I was told I could start eating "mushie-soft" foods now. I started that today and had a scrambled egg and 1 T of cream of wheat for breakfast. And for lunch I had 1/2 cup of bean soup....although most of it was broth. There was maybe 1 1/2 T of beans in it. Breakfast and lunch was so much more satisfying today. I made a protein shake this afternoon and am still working on it right now. So far, so good for me and I pray that it continues. I made speghetti for my family tonight. I would love to have some because it smells sooo good. But I guess I will have some chicken salad and some cooked cauliflower instead. Very small amounts, of course. I have my 2 month follow-up appointment with my surgeon at the end of May. Hopefully I can lose another 15-25 pounds by then. Gonna try my best.
