Exactly 7 Days Pre Op

I am so happy to see the numbers on my scale go down , I was sleeved on Nov 13 ,2012 . My starting weight was 237 , after the 14 days pre op liquid diet and day on my surgery 222 lbs , Today I am 210lbs. I am thankful that everything has gone well so far no gas pains , vomiting or dumping . The incisions are less sore.

 

I did my week of only clear liquids and yesterday started to transiton into full liquids , I was worried how my stomach would react to the slim fast protein shakes ,since some people have stated that they are to thick , but I did okay , also added a cream of celery soup but I used the lactose free milk , only because I didnt want to have a neggative reaction so I played it safe. I really enjoyed having the sugar free fudge bars, I don't really feel hungry but sometimes the smell of food makes me feel like I want to eat and I wish that I could ( I have to wait at least 2 more weeks to have solids ) maybe sometime next week I can move into puree foods ,although I feel that my stomach can handle it now , I dont want to do anything that could interfear in the healing process of my stomach.

 

I am very eager and excited to see what happens to my body in the next few months , wondering if I will continue to lose once I start on puree and solid foods . My clothes are starting to get loose , I wish I could go get a new smaller size pair of jeans but I dont want to put any preasure on the incisions on my belly.

 

Thank you for reading my journey , I wish everybody all the best .
