I was finally able to poop today. I was starting to get freaked out. I know my system has gone into shock a bit from surgery but still. Sometimes the intestine does not wake up after anesthesia and this can be an issue.I have also heard this can be a problem with lap banders because fibrous things can cause issues with the band depending on what they are. I had mom stop by the store on her way home yesterday and get me some benefiber so I can start putting that in either my water or my protein shakes.
On another good note I weighed today and I am down 9lbs!!! I am having mixed emotions today. I am excited about the future and the new me but at the same time scared to death. What if I don't make it? What if I spent all this $ and I FAIL!! What if I have some kind of complication? I am afraid to put on clothes. I have been hanging in a tank shirt and my panties. I am really freaked about putting on a bra. I have 3 incisions right between and slightly below my breast right where my bra strap will be. I do not want anything rubbing on the incisions and possibly causing them to get infected. Still having bad shoulder pain and a lot of gas. I am also terrified of loosing my hair. My hair has been thinning already. It started about the time I hit 35. I really don't need anymore help in that department. It is common for WLS ( weight loss surgery ) patients to loose hair approx 3-6mos out due to the shock to their system of the surgery. Protein and biotin is supposed to help. Getting up and down is still and issue although not quite as sore.
