Well today is officially one week since my surgery. Things are going pretty good. I was in alot of pain when I woke up from the surgery but the nurses quickly got it under control. My dr was extremely proud of me and told David and my mom that I was her patient of the year. She couldn't believe how well I had done on my preop diet. Made me feel really good.
The pain wasn't too bad when I got home. The worst part has to be the gas pains. Luckily they seem to be getting less and less with everyday that passes. I have been off my pain med sice Sat morning. I hated the way they made me feel. I am still having some Nausea but it seems to be getting better as well.
Last night I started running a low grade fever. Not sure what that is about cause I really don't feel bad. I have a follow up appt tomorrow at noon and hopefully she will give me a clean bill of health.
I am drinking more liquid with everyday. The first couple of days it was hard to get more than 6oz down. I am now drinking about 20-30 oz a day. Still can't drink my protein drinks as they make me full for hours and I end up drinking nothing while full.
I stepped on the scale today....I have lost 10lbs since the surgery. Brings my total to 37lbs. I am hoping to lose 50 by the new year. If I keep going at this rate it should not be a problem.
I should easily be a 100lb lost by the wedding. I know it's not going to continue coming off this quick but as long as I lose 2-4lbs a week I should be good!
David and I have to go Christmas shopping this weekend. We haven't even begun. Hopefully we can get it all done this weekend so we don't have to worry about it anymore.
Well I guess I should get back to work.
