Gastric Bypass (update 7)

Hey all:

So I went yesterday for my post-op ed class. Got weighed. Not so great and I cried, but they (the Dr.’s ) were not 1 bit concerned. They said weight gain happens in the beginning, you are female and you have to think about water retention as well. Ok I buy that. So did a little shopping, got a few thing to wear to work that won’t fall off. Didn’t spend much and the clothes will get me through my transition times.

On the food front: Wow this is so hard, but I have found a couple things that work out really well. Cucumber and onion salad. Just little bits, but it tasted so good. Deviled eggs. Anything egg is great and stayed down. Crab salad, just don’t use imitation crab meat like I did, bleh!

I am still throwing up pretty regularly, but I am doing better. Today was the first day back at work, whew. Long day and I am really tired. I have grazed on and off, it is a struggle. Yogurt for lunch, wheat thins to snack, breakfast didn’t go down so well. I will learn...



Overall, it is the hardest thing I have tried to accomplish thus far, but I am making it and I am trying and that is the most important thing.
