Red face My 4 week checkup

I went to my 4 week check today. He didn't pull my last drain. I knew this was gonna happen because I still have to much draining. He told me today to start on mushy food. Yes! Im scared but happy about this. He told me this should help me feel better to. Just to do it in tiny bits at first. Its been a month since I have had food. I have read post on here talking about watching commercials and wanting the foods so bad. I don't have that problem. I watch cooking shows still and it don't bother me. The only thing I will say i have craved is Tomato Toast. Just plain toast with tomato on it. I asked him if he thought this would be OK if it chewed it to death. He laughed and told me yes it would be OK. So..... in the next few days I will take a quarter of a piece of toast and put a bit of tomato on it to see if that goes down. Im not a big bread eater anyways. Never have been.

I have lost a total of 40 lbs in 4 weeks. He said normally he would be worried about that dramatic of a drop but since I had complications the way I did and I have been on full liquids it was fine. I the other day. I was having my (breakfast) of V-8 juice and drank it to fast I think. It bothered me when I went to drink some water soon after. Nothing come up but a sip of water. It don't give you much warning does it. I don't wanna do that again.

All in all Im doing OK. I feel a bit better each day. Still on pain meds which bothered me but the Dr said the type of emergency surgery he did on me warrants the medication at this time. I am slowly weaning myself off it. I worry about addiction but he said he wont let me go that far on it.

So that is my update. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Yes Please Chew Slow And Well. I Havent Tried Raw Tomatoes Yet So I Cant Say Much Just Take It Slow When You Eat Hun!!

Wow 40lbs In A Month Dam Gir!!! Im So Happy For You, I Know You Must Be Thrilled.

Just A Question Though. What I Dont Understand Is If You Had Complications How Come Your Body Didnt Go In Starvation Mode To Heal Itself Like What Happened To Me. You Work In The Medical Field So I Figured You Might Know The Answer To This. If Not Maybe Doc Can Explain.

Congratulations on the great report. And, it sounds like your surgeon is on top of everything, and way ahead of you, which is good.
Keep up the good work.
