Today is 4 weeks post RNY surgery for me.
- Down 16.8 lbs. I've had a couple of times where my weight has stayed stable for more than 5 days in that 4 weeks (including now). Still watching to see if a pattern emerges and trying to take it in stride (not always successfully).
- No issues with liquids at all (yay!). I have been getting between 80 and 100 most days.
- Eating up to 4 oz at a time. I haven't tried for more except with greek yogurt (I eat the whole container of the Oikos triple zero which is just over 5 oz).
- On soft foods for the last 2 weeks and so far I've tolerated everything I've tried (eggs, tuna, Ricotta bake, lunchmeat, etc...). I had chicken for the first time today (canned and made into chicken salad) and that went down well.
- I can get my Protein in but only if I do a couple of shakes (or max a premier out by adding some collagen).
- Walking daily up to 1 mile.
I go back to work on Thursday (I was VERY fortunate to take a full month off). I also plan on starting back with my rowing machine in addition to the walking.
All in all I am extremely happy with how I've healed so far. I'm looking forward to continuing the journey. I have a lot of work ahead of me to get to a healthy weight but I am hopeful.
