Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 OK, today was my one week checkup. My doctor says I am doing really well. He took out the staples (over 50 one by one ouch!!) and put sterile tapes on the incision. He said it was a good thing that he took my gall bladder out because it was in bad shape, something called cronic cholistytis. Then he told me that the tumor he removed with my ovary had hair and teeth. EEEEWWWWWW Has anyone ever heard of this before?? That totally freaks me out that that was in me. Ok, now for the weight loss part. I lost 17 lbs this first week. He said that was great. But he wants me to start on pureed food. He said to bake a small chicken breast tender and puree it with chicken broth. I hope I can manage this, it seems like a big step from the yogurt and chicken broth I have been doing. I couldn't do it today, because my doctors office is a 2 1/2 hour drive away, so that makes it 5 hours round trip and I got brave/stupid and threw a trip to the grocery store in there. That all did me in, and I have to admit that my intake today was about 5 cups of water, 2 oz carnation instant breakfast, and one sugar free popsicle. After the hard day, I just couldn't force myself to eat, I KNEW it would come back up, and that is not what I wanted first day without the staples. Keep me in your prayers, and you are all in mine!!
