I am now 2 weeks post op and I’m getting back to normal life. The first week is very clear you should take it easy with light walking. I’m so thankful for my mom and husband who helped with the kids. I couldn’t even pick up our youngest. I think she was mad at me all week. The second week I had no help. It was a good thing though as I needed to move my body, get use to my core muscles and eating solid foods.
So far my cuts have healed very quickly compared to stitches. I have some glue coming off each day. Two smaller insisions are now glue-less. The two biggest things I notice is where the top of my stomach is, there is not lapband so it is no longer firm under my rib cage. I never noticed it but now it’s gone I can not feel it’s tightness. The second thing is I can not rush eating or eat larger portions. I’m thankful for this. Even though there is no band I feel full with smaller amounts & if I swallow to large of food I feel a light pain. I guess when your body is in a constructed form it will take awhile to ‘feel normal’
Life is moving on...
I’m going to with drawl from the revision program. I’m just not mentally ready to do gastric bypass. I feel as if I’d go from lapband life of throwing up to bypass life of dumping. I just want to be healthy with mind and body. The surgery did scare me so I’m just not ready to continue with a revision.
Weight today : 219
