Post Op Dr Visit

On Friday I went to see Dr Lau for my 2 week post-op followup. He removed the bandages - thank God, they were starting to itch - now there are just 5 small, about 1 inch wide, incision marks. Since I have been tolerating all foods on the liquid diet he said I could go on to try other foods. Yahoooo! Soup was getting boring.

Now, for the numbers: My pre-surgery weight was 221 and my weight on Friday was 211. So 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Not bad.

Once I start a real exercise program things will really start to move. I plan on starting to do more than just walking next week. Dr Lau said I can do anything that doesn't hurt short of skydiving and scuba diving. My plan is to join the Y.

The week after surgery I felt lost - a case of "buyers remorse". I was thinking, "What have I done? How will I ever live like this?". But as the days have passed I have become positive that I can be successful in this new life.

Thanks to those who have left comments. I love it, please leave more.
