I'm eating EVERYTHING except white bread and sugar... I'm so pleased! I never seem to get enough fluids though, so I'm working on that.
I'm sick of mashing my pills... they taste absolutely dreadful. I'm taking them though - and my vitamins and calcium.
I've had one issue with throwing up - maybe slight dumping. I ate a sugar free cookie - and oh my. I'll never do it again. I'm guessing the sugar alcohols got to me - It only lasted for about 15 minutes. Thank God!
My clothes are getting baggy - and that is SUCH a good feeling. Sometimes I feel like maybe I'm not losing enough, but at my 3 week post-op appointment I'd lost 21lbs - and the Dr. said I was on "the high end of normal".
I'm trying to excercise - and last night, because it was raining, and I couldn't walk - I did a "Taebo" video - and oh my gosh... do I feel it today! 
Thanks for this thread. It's nice to keep in touch with the people who had surgery around the same time as me. Kinda keeps us on our toes to watch everyone's progress.
Have a great day! |
Oh, so much of your post is exactly how I feel! I finally got to quit crushing pills! I could've had a party! Crushed pepcid is NASTY! And, oh, those mistakes! Don't we pay for mistakes later? I've made three so far! Blech. And fluids...I've got to do better. Every night, I assess myself and vow to drink more tomorrow. It's just never enough.
But I feel good, so I guess that makes the rest okay.
Yes, I figure that this thread gives us a way to keep tabs and help each other out as needed!
