So it's been over a week since my surgery and I am down to 209.9 as of this morning... That's 30 lbs down since June 13th... Crazy. So my total weight loss now is 120. Im pleased. I am working hard still to get my fluids in. It's been a bit of a struggle, as I still cannot do 2 liters like I need. I am getting a liter and a half on a good day. So I continue to work away. It has caused me to feel quite dizzy at times, so I need to be cautious.
I have very low energy right now too, so needless to say I am not doing too much. I need to get out walking more so that's today's goal. Hoping to walk four times today.. Just short walks, but needed walks. Might provide a little sanity too! lol
I haven't had any gravol in a couple of days, so that's a victory. It's definitely a bit of a recovery ahead, but I know it'll be worth it.
I took my dressings off my incisions and was absolutely amazed how small they are. There are only 6 incisions and the largest one is just over an inch. That's so small. It's incredible.
I keep looking at my arms and legs and they don't look like they are mine. I just wish I could choose where I would lose the weight first.. lol. There still may be a bit of swelling in my stomach area, but that's where I hope to lose weight now. I guess I don't have much choice right now.
So the recovery is going well, a few minor set backs this weekend, with dehydration being a concern and a lovely case of thrush, but I am on the mend and moving forward!!! Pics to come in a few weeks!!
