two weeks post op

It has been two weeks since my operation. I thought I should blog a little more about my journey this past week.

I have been able to eat out at Denny's with my family. They have been very awesome about fixing food that I can eat. For my drink I get their smoothies and my food order consists of very thing/runny watery potatoes and gravy. I stick to the one cup serving of food. My meal total costs $5. My kids order off their 2-4-6 menu. So our total Denny's mean cost $25 or so. It would be less but I allowed the kids to get pop.

I am starting to get pretty bored. I still don't have my normal energy back up, and it is to hot to walk anywhere. I can't swim with my kids like I normally do and since I can't lift anything, I don't want to go camping.

I had the worst vaginal pain ever the past two weeks. The surgeon thinks it was due to my hormone imbalance on top of the anistisia causing more hormone imbalance's. Yesterday was the first time I could use the bathroom without crying. Other than that I am pain free this week.

I spent one day this week at the Galleria Mall in Henderson, NV. I walked for six hours and window shopped with my family. The only thing the mall had that I could eat were smoothies at the Orange Julius. They have smoothies made with Splenda and then I had them add protein to it. By the end of the day I was exhausted and hurting.

April 30, 2012 according I weighed 326, today I weigh 296. I have lost 12 pounds total in the last two weeks. I can't say any of this has helped my waist line. All of it seems to be coming off my legs and face first.

I know that once I am able to start eating "real food" I will initially start gaining weight back. I just hope I can find away for that to NOT happen.

I thought I was going to be able to eat more meet this week, however it looks like I keep eating the same type of food this week, just make it thicker than last week. I am going to try making a pork stew for the family and then put mine in the blender to make it all mushy for me to eat it. We will see how it goes.

Thanks for reading!
