Today...216 lbs. I've been holding this weight for a few days now, but I have also been able to eat more variety of foods and also been able to walk a little longer! I did a body measurement on Sunday night and all but one or two measurements had reduced by at least 1/2 inch! More victories!!!!!
Since Sunday, I have begun to incorporate pureed and softer foods along with liquids and been able to start getting my protein intake back within the normal range. I wasn't able to get the needed intake for the first few days after surgery, but now I'm good. Now I am going to try and work more on watching my calories and carb. intake. I am keeping a food journal to track it so I can see where I need to change.
I still have one area in my abdomen that is still pretty sore, especially if I move it wrong and I still cannot lay on my sides, but I know that will come in time...so not going to rush it. Really the only other thing that is any discomfort is the pain in the shoulder/neck region that the Dr. said would be there. But it's not unbearable and I haven't had any kind of pain reliever since Saturday afternoon. Woohoo!!
Until next time,
Lisa B.
