Week Three Post-Op

I'm doing great! I'm healing and feeling good. My incisions are healing nicely and the tape/glue has all peeled off. I will probably start putting a scar prevention cream on them-- I just haven't decided which one yet, maybe Mederma.

I got the OK to get in the spa again. That felt great! Now, I'm dieing to get back to my water aerobics, but have to wait for the approval at my four week post-op appointment with Dr. Neal.

I'm eating mushy food, but it's pretty normal stuff. So, I don't have cravings or miss any particular foods. However, I confess it's probably not the best food I could choose. I keep a daily food journal. It starts two days before my pre-op diet and continues through now. I was at well over 2,0000 calories to start, 1,000 a day or less for pre-op diet (lost 14 lbs in 2 weeks), about 300-700 calories on the liquid phase post-op, and I'm now heading back up to 800-1,0000 a day. I'm getting hungry again and looking forward to hitting my "sweet spot" of restriction.

I am counting down the days to my first fill: 4 days 23.5 hrs from now I will be back at Dr Neal's office for my first fill :-)
