Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hello All, Today I am ONE month post-op!! Thing are going wonderfully! Of course I have been taking my meds and vitamins as instructed. Just this past week I have begun introducing regular foods to my diet, regular meaning; chicken salad, pork, steak along with some vegetables like beans and asparagus. With these new items I have also been chewing chewing chewing and taking things slow. And as it turns out, so far so good! It's amazing what fills you up, and it's a constant struggle for me to remember to GO SLOW esp when I'm hungry! Watching others eat is quite entertaining, never thought about it before, now I remind myself during every bit to chew everything really well. Otherwise I feel like there's lead in my stomach and I'm uncomfortable for a good 45mins or more. I try to drink one large container of Gatorade a day and another bottle or two of the new Crystal Light Hydration. I have been back to my everyday activity and have added this past week a water aerobic class 2 days a week. I usually walk during my lunch for 30mins about 3-4 times a week. But I believe adding the water aerobics will be one of the best activities I could have added. I love the water and I'm hoping the class will lead me back in to swimming laps as a primary exercise routine. Now for the exciting news… I have LOST 33 POUNDS in 1 month!! Hurray!!! What a wonderful feeling having your clothes getting baggie! Cat in NC 4-11-07 8'bypass, 34, 5'10 " 358/325/?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
