1 week follow up post op

 

Today I had my 1 week follow up with my surgeon. Went so well! Surgery went as well as it possibly could, and I am healing just as planned. He asked me about my workouts, I was happy to report I started my 2.5 mile walks with my friends. He said Good but thats not an activity that we consider a workout. It will not build enough muscle needed to support the rapid weight loss. So Im joining the gym =) Have a 3 week follow up with him and my nutritionalist so I better get on it! Good news was i am down 11 lbs from pre-op liquid diet and 12 lbs since surgery! Yaaaaay   I went back to work today ! It actually felt great to get back to my schedule and I feel ok. I did FINALLY get my 64oz + in today Yay!    3 more days of this liquid diet then on to puree stage THANK GOD!   Happy Wednesday!   

congrats! sounds like you are doing great! I'm surprised he's letting you go to the gym so soon so you must be doing really well! Be proud of yourself!

I am also a week out today but I am not doing even close to 2 and a half miles a day. Wow! I am afraid of what my doctor is going to say at my appointment tomorrow.

Congrats! It feels good to accomplish weight loss. Glad you will be on pureed foods soon. Good luck!

Thanks Guys! I should probably add that I was very active prior to surgery and also did a daily 4 mile walk/jog I think thats why he has set my limit high =) Gym here i come lol.....

Happy thursday!
