This week has been a roller coaster! Monday morning was my surgery. Everything went well, but of course I had a lot of pain afterwards. It has gotten better every day, though and today feels the best so far. Still sore at the port, but that will pass eventually. I am sleeping better, sitting better and driving a LOT more comfortably than earlier in the week.

 

Tomorrow is one week! And I can start mushy foods! I am SO ready for this. I bought mashed potatoes, oatmeal, refried beans, lowfat cheese, greek yogurt, egg beaters, tuna, salmon....anything that I can make mushy, I'm going to try! LOL It'll just feel so good to have some real food again! Though I'm tempted to stick with a protein shake for breakfast. I've never been a big breakfast person and the protein shake is the perfect amount of "food" for me in the morning.

 

Side question: For anyone that has been "glued" after surgery, how long did it take for the glue to wear off? One of my tiny incisions is barely starting to come off now around the edges, but I was just curious.

 

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!!

 

Blessings!

Did you end up getting the car?

As for derma bond (or whatever they call it), mine shed on the little incisions after about 10 days, and the port incision about 2 1/2 weeks. It peeled off in long strips lol.

The thing that is the best about mushies? OK two things: some small amount of chewing required and salty taste on the tongue. Enjoy!

My glue came off when I started showering, which I think was the 48 hour mark. I only had one strip remaining at my one week appointment and the nurse ripped it off. Ha! I'm a rule follower and they told me not to rip it off, so I didn't. She laughed at me. :)

You are doing great, girl! Enjoy the heck out of those mushies!

My glue started peeling around a week.. then it got itchy and i got impatient, so when i showered i washed my stomach just a Liiiittle more aggressively (not too hard, mind you)...it finally finished peeling around 3 weeks....
