2 week Surgiversary!

Today is the 2 week Surgiversary of my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Everything has been going great. The dermabond is almost completely gone and my wounds look like they're healing well. I've been getting in all of my water and taking my multi-vitamins. I still have some soreness where they pulled my stomach out, but it's only normal. It's not even bad enough for me to bother taking pain meds at this point. It's just a little uncomfortable and annoying.

I ate for the first time in over 2 weeks. I was pretty scared, but everything went well. I had about 1/5 of a scrambled egg with a sprinkle of 2% sharp cheddar cheese and a dab of low-fat mayo and mustard. I always liked cheese, but it never tasted so good.
Tomorrow night I plan on having some fat-free refried beans with a sprinkle of the 2% sharp cheddar cheese. We'll see how that goes.

I'll be posting post-op healing belly pics soon and sharing more of my pre-op story.
