Six days post surgery

Well I think I may have turned the corner on feeling better. I took a long nap this afternoon and woke up feeling more like myself. I also stopped the pain meds today. As far as the surgery went I can't say it was a piece of cake or I was up and going the next day but it definitely wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was afraid of being sick to my stomach and vomiting but had no issues in that regard. I have mostly been tired and had pain with my largest incision. I can't tell if the pain is from just the incision or from inside where the staples are located .Tomorrow I have an appointment with my surgeon and my nutritionist. I am looking forward to seeing how much weight I have lost. I am missing food and eating and will be glad when i can add a few more things to my diet. I think the next stage is called the pureed diet and includes eggs, mashed potato, beans, soft fruits and veggies that are blended.

 

My husband has a job tomorrow so my friend is taking me to the hospital, so glad I don't have to go alone. I will Post my weight loss tomorrow!

Hang in there. Think more about what you will be gaining, a better quality of life, less or no more meds, a new wardrobe later, not just what we may have give up.
