Hi All, Monday I will be 5 weeks post op and I am excited to be starting soft foods. This is not an easy journey by any means and anyone telling us we took the easy way out can go scratch!
I am as of today down 24 lbs, nd I'm thrilled but, I'm struggling and very tired. I have an appointment with the nutritionist finally in about 2 weeks I think and a follow up with my surgeon the following week.
I am still having pain on and off on my left side, I will mention that to the surgeon if I still have it when I see him. But I am not at all hungry, I do crave water but mostly at night. I'm struggling to get all my protein in since I'm also having pureed food. But I'm trying to keep getting to it. I'm getting half of what I'm supposed to have. Vitamins are also a struggle since I hate the taste of the chewables.. but I think the lack of iron is causing the fatigue so I am going to pay attention to getting it in.
I'm still working my journey and trying to figure stuff out.
Hope you all are feeling amazing and doing well!!
