Two Weeks Post-Op

April 5, 2011

Today is 2 weeks out, and Im feeling good. I'm completely off and pain meds and rarely have soreness around the incisions (except right after walking for 20+ mins). The most notable changes are in the inclusion of one egg per day to my continued clear liquid diet, (I never thought I would be so excited to eat half a scrambled egg!) and beginning my vitamin regiment. My surgeon has his own line of multi-vitamins and supplements designed for people who've had weight loss surgery so I ordered a bottle and picked up some sub-lingual b12 from GNC. So far so good. My stomach seems to be tolerating the changes well, and to this day I haven't had a moment's nausea.

Since going back to work (yesterday) Ive started waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble getting back to sleep. Maybe I've just thrown off my internal time clock with all the vacation time? My hope is that it will sort itself out. I'm still pretty fatigued most of the time.

Oh yeah, someone came up to me at work today and told me I looked like I lost a ton of weight. That was frickin awesome. The scale keeps moving down but I'm comfortably wearing the same clothes... Not sure where the weight is coming from. And to be honest, when I look in the mirror I don't see it (yet). Ah well, steady the course.
