OK week 2 post op update.
Just short of 5 pound lost this week which I'm more than happy with. If I can manage 3lb per week I'll be happy
As I'm on liquids only for 4 weeks I'm getting a little bored with the choices but only 2 weeks to go and then I can Purée :happy036:.
Been very sedentary this week as I opened up part of the lower of my 5 wounds on Monday bending down to pick up a pen :copon: and although the blood wasn't pouring out it didn't want to stop and I was having to change dressings 3 or 4 times a day. It finally stopped on Wednesday and so I've been sitting on my rear lifting nothing heavier than the remote!
Lesson to be learned : - just because you think your OK you ain't!
Starting on Monday me and "she who must be obeyed" are going to start walking to get me some sort of exercise. Pre-op I couldn't walk for more than 500 yards before knee wanting to give up or pain in lower back let alone being short of breath. I had started walking last week albeit around the garden and at the moment I have no pain in my knee or back so things are looking up there as well

well done on weightloss
I don't know how I can cope either, I really do think I've finally got my head in the right place and I want this to succeed so even though the family are still eating their normal food as much as I would like a bit, I know I can't and so the thought just goes away

Morning all
Week 3 update short and sweet this week
Exactly 3lb lost which I'm pleased with.
All dressings removed now and wounds are healing nicely. No Pain any more but still not convinced that I'm not gong to open up the bigger of the 5 wounds..Again!
Still on the liquid stage, (1 week to go) so a bit jealous of those of you that were on Puréed food after a few days, but I'm determined to stick to what my diet sheet says. I don't feel hungry which is a great benefit of the sleeve, I actually have to look at the clock to remember I need to eat!
Started walking more this week but my knee started playing up again so I need to get the balance right.
Only 1 week left of the Clexane (blood thinner)Jabs, I can't wait to get off of these it's not painful but you bruise so easily and I'm running out of thigh and upper arm space to stick the needle in :rant2:
have a good weekend all.
