2 weeks Post-Op tomorrow!

SO...tomorrow is 14 days pre-op! I can't believe how fast the time is going! I had my staples removed today. I was pleased that it hardly bothered me! :w00t: The Dr. put on some steri-strips just to make sure that the incisions stay closed. I have lost nearly 20 lbs....and I am pumped! :ohmy: I have started mushies today and I am in my glory! :P hahahaha....It's just that I am SO excited to eat real food instead of shakes and pureed soups. :) Anyway, I head back to work on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to it....I'm pretty much back to normal and feeling great....but wanted to take the whole 2 weeks my Dr. recommended. Anyway, that's my update! :biggrin:

    lnhardemon: Nope...I had the band. I had staples on my incisions that needed to be removed.

    losing 77: I started mushies yesterday and for lunch I had one egg scrambled. For dinner, I ate a small amount of tuna in a bowl mixed up really, really well with mayo. I bought some mashed potatoes too...but don't plan on eating a ton of those b/c I don't really want to do too many carbs. I'm just excited to be able to chew something! :) hahahaha....

    What else are you eating now? I'm on day 7 of the shakes/soup phase and can't wait to get to the "Mushies". What else will I be able to have?
