3 weeks Post-Op

Can't believe it is already 3 weeks. I had my sleeve on 7/22 without Complications. Had 2 hernia's that had to be fixed also umbilical hernia and hiatal hernia. 2nd day was the worst day of all. I weighed in at 283 day of surgery and today I am 268, so 15 pounds gone. I have lost 28 since pre-op. Unbelievable and so happy about it. I have had a bit of an annoying pain that just won't go away and it is under my left breast it is like a muscle spasm it has gotten better though. My back also hurts all the time now on the left side. It is more annoying now but was an awful pain up until this week. Food wise I was sent home on pureed foods and ate eggs and chicken salad most of the time. Started on solids on August 2nd after my 1st post op appointment. My normal day is a protein shake for breakfast, chicken and cheese for lunch and some sort of meat for dinner. I have to be on meat, cheese and eggs until week 9 when I can introduce vegtables again. I am so looking forward to that. I feel like my doctor is extremely strict but I am following almost 100% . I did have some carbs once or twice since surgery. Exercise was a late start because of that pain I was having but I have finally been walking 3 to 4 x's a week for a 1/2 hour or more and I LOVE it. So missed my walking. I have my next follow up appt on Sept 4th which is an hour nutrition course and doc appt. So excited for that because I am hoping he releases me to do more activity like weights.
