Almost Two Weeks Post Op

By Loyalfriend

· 340 views

I have noticed so many changes already. One, my attitude has changed for the better. I'm happier :smile2:and I socialize with my co-workers more. Before I hid behind my desk because I was stressed and embarrased.

 

I can tell my stomach is healing because I'm taking in more liquids. Yesterday, I took a fitness test with a trainer and I noticed a change in my BMI. Unfortunately, when I tried to hold the plank position I became weak and fell on my stomach:eek:. My stomach is sore and I pray I didn't do anything to my port. Thanks God, I have a doctor's appoinment tomorrow, so I'll see if I did any damage.

 

I'm starting to miss food again, but once I get full I tend to forget about it. I'm continuing to read other people blogs to keep me motivated and mindful of how easy bad habits can come back in my life even with the band. Oh well. Life goes on and today is a new day. Time to continue on my journey and keep a positive mindset.

 

Everyone have a Whoop-tastic Day:w00t:!!

    Attitude is SO important! It seems to be the most important key for me. If I'm feeling good, I do well. If not...well, I don't do so well. :) Positive thoughts and moving forward!! Whoop whoop!! :)

    Congratulations! You are doing so well! I hope you are ok; be sure to talk to your surgeon about doing planks and core exercises? Every surgeon is different; but mine said no core and no legs for 4-6 weeks.

    I think my tummy hurt for awhile -- it was inside not stitches -- but it was just healing. It wasn't really a pain, more like a dull ache that I used to call a "reminder" of what my body went through. Take care of yourself!!!

    Hugs :::::::

    I agree, the pain I have now is where the incision is. But it still hurts now and again. I am not considering any exercise other than walking for awhile. I too am afraid I might move the port and then YIKES!
