Start of week 3 seeing progress

Start of week 3 starting to see progress. I'm down over 25lbs thus far. Today I began "Stage 2" where I can have some meats and other items. I am easily making my fluid and protein goals. We'll see how I can handle some of these and keep learning the new me.

Post op for VSG:Still learning always loving new living

After over a week post op I work hard to meet all my goals of protein, fluids and exercise. I've successfully introduced new fiods and tolerated okay thus far. Sometimes the feeling stuck after a bit of cheese its just a reminder to slow down and pay attention. Actually tried sugar free drink and it feels like water 1st did and hurts a bit and to honest it not fond of sweet things. I guess thats goos to avoid
Issues in the future.

No A/C in the state of Missouri

Well, officially I am one week post op. I'm getting the hang of the new me. I'm down 20 lbs since last Sunday  when I started the liquid preop diet. The last few days our A/c unit has been out and yesterday was miserable but we made it. Today it was 72 with attic fan going and has been bearable today.
I'm still learning to listen to body to stop eating and it is going well to feel that fullness.

Trying some soft proteins.

Since I met all my protein and liquid goals I decided to see my tolerance to soft proteins. Today's breakfast menu included 1 egg  scrambled with a side of few oz of cottage cheese. Overall the textures and flavors were okay. Ill own up and say I did too much too soon. Only finished about 1/2 an egg and few bites of of the cottage cheese.  Its not as painful as the fluids were at first but it doesn't feel well so just going to listen to the body and so blessed to make it this far so quick. To this point no throwing up from meds or fluids etc, got all my fluids in and doing lots of walking, to sum it up I feel awesome and every day is a new adventure and victory.

Long night even longer day

Last night went ahead and did the laxative and suppository. It was a long night it worked is best Ill say it. Last night our air hoes out and I need to ensure I stay hydrated. Its a small set back of misery that I wasn't expecting but I am still super excited about this tool and journey.

Popsicle.. finally able to have one!

Day 4 post op and today I was able to take in a Popsicle. The water is is going  down a little easier. It's still an adjustment and even with minor pains and discomfort I am still really excited for this journey and the bigger non scale victories are coming.

Day 3 making it home

Finally , I am writing this from home. Finally doing okay on my fluids, was able eat 2 bites of jello. It's still a little too soon for any thing that sweet so soon. If goes well I'll be having soft proteins by monday i.e eggs.
It is so nice to be home a few too many times when I was there, I would wake up
Not sure where I was and why. Once I move
I'd look down and remember why. Overall for pain it feels like Ive done a ton of sit ups
And my abs are sore. Here is to another day of a new me and a another day of healing.

Day 2 , let's go home, not yet..

Today is 2nd day after surgery, I am struggling with my water goal so far I've hit
48 oz of the 64oz goal. I've done good on the other things instead of 4 laps I've done 17 laps around the wing. Also I did okay on my spirometer.
Overall my pain is minimal other than drinking fluids. That is supposed to be temporary and expected pain with the fluids. I want to get home and be withy family. I am doing every thing asked of me and listening to my body. I've done things my way and it didn't work, I am motivated and bought into the process.
