June Post Ops!

[MGteacher 43]

Has anyone else from June not had their first post-op doctor appointment? Surgery was 6/18. My doctor switched surgical groups a week later, so I had to switch if I wanted to stay with her. Getting records transferred and infection complications caused this delay. I did see my doctor briefly during one of my two additional hospitalizations, but I never even met the nutritionalists at the new center. I'm trying to follow the plan I got from my original center, but it makes me nervous. My appointment with them isn't until 8/2.

I'm mostly nervous about a hematoma by my belly button. It's gotten smaller and the bruising is gone, but it's still there. While hospitalized, the doctors didn't seem concerned. They said it didn't show signs of infection on the CT scans and would go away on its own. I did have an infection elsewhere and have been on antibiotics. Anyone else have a lingering hematoma for 5+ weeks?

I had a gigantic nasty purple and green monster bruise next to my belly button - just to the right side of it. It's more or less gone now. I can't recall if it was from my rny 7 weeks ago or my revision for complications 3.5 weeks later but it's almost gone now.

I haven't had my follow up yet. I had to reschedule due to starting a new job. I actually called today to ask if I could try eating a salad yet and they said not until I see my surgeon. :/ womp womp. Lol they were pissed because I changed the appointment, but I wasn't about to ask for time off the first week of my new job. Lol

Anyone else feel like their pouch suddenly shrunk? I swear mine is half the size. I used to be able to eat 3oz at a time with no problems. The last few days I can only barely get 2oz. Hrm.

No drinking 30 minutes before a meal and 30 minutes after a meal. I struggle with this! I always feel thirsty when I eat!

Today is the first day since surgery 4 weeks ago that I almost feel NORMAL! I woke early and ran out for coffee (decaf!), nothing on my tummy hurts, I ate a fairly normal Breakfast, slowly without feeling stuck, did stuff around the house, read, sipped Sobe, ate a normal lunch, feeling fine! Going to the gym later. Woot woot! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Absolutely nothing to do with weight loss surgery but I just made these for my cousins fiancé's bridal shower tomorrow. They're made completely of folded paper. My hands hurt.

I understand. I went to school for studio art and I'm a graphic designer now. I use to have to do stuff like this in college all the time.
