Two Weeks Post Op

· 487 views

Two Weeks Post Op and sometimes I forget that I had surgery! (In a good way), I have no pains what so ever in my wound/port area, I move around Just as I did before.

 

I do feel restriction, I am on mushy foods and have to force myself to eat a reasonable portion size, worried i'm not getting in enough calories because I have to force myself to eat, I just have to appetite

 

doctor cleared me to go to Zumba, went twice this week don't want to over do it.

 

Week four I will go to Zumba three time a week, and do weights twice a week, upper body, then lower body! can't wait!

    You are going to LOVE Zumba. The time goes by so fast and you don't even feel like you are exercising. Have a great time at the gym!

    Toyrenee,

    Getting approved by the insurance company can seem overwhelming. At times, for us, it felt like it was never going to happen. It took a good 7 months. My husband was banded 8/10! Finally! So hang in there. You will get there and when you do it is going to change your life in so many positive ways. My husband is down 15 pounds and it has just been a little over two weeks. That may not seem like a lot but for him it is huge. We both look forward to the new life we are going to be able to have together. Take care and good luck.

    I wanted to tell you , your pic is absolutly gorgeous! Thank you for posting this. I read these blogs every day and most people talk about bad experiences and very slow weight loss. Im having my surgery next month and it scares me every time I log into this site. My doc assures me that its not as bad as people say it is. Please keep posting! How was the first day or two after your surgery?
