1 Week Post Op and VICTORY

Hello there,

 

Ugh, it's SNOWING AGAIN here in Ontario Canada. Oh well, I can't fix that.

 

Today is my one week surgiversary and I'm pleased to say that I've lost 5 more pounds this past week. I'm very pleased with that.

 

The day before yesterday I started taking lessTylenol for pain - and being lazy I hadn't gotten any more after I ran out.

 

Yesterday I walked the longest yet - too long in fact for being 6 days out. Over an hour and almost four miles. I staggered home and was exhausted by bed time yesterday. I woke up around 2am in a lot of pain, and at last the pharmacy has just opened and I've returned from buying the tylenol and taking my double dose.

 

During the night I tried taking 2 tylenol pills. That was pretty awful, and while they didn't come up, I'm not certain they ever went down. I'm really sore today. I'll stay with the children tylenol double dose for as long as needed and today I'll take it easier, though I can still use the treadmill downstairs for a short stint.

 

I like the walking, and was so pleased I found out how far I could go, although next time outside walking, I doubt I'll try for an hour or more. I have a tendency to overdoing it, to pushing myself, and it's one way that I'm not nice to myself. All things in good time Nancy is what I think.

 

Tomorrow I get to move to more 'foods'. I cannot wait as I'm truly sick of shakes.

 

Thanks to all of you for your support!

 

Nancy

Good for you! Walking and exercise are so important to success. Just don't push yourself too hard. You've got plenty of time to build up. Have fun with mushies. It was my least favorite stage. I could not stomach the idea of eating food from a blender. I did have mashed potatoes a couple of times and Mac N Cheese, but I decided they were old habit foods and tried to stay away from them. Once I made some refried beans mixed with low fat ricotta cheese topped with mozzarella. Heated and then a little dollop of fat free sour cream. It was so delicious! (When that's all you can have, lol). Best wishes!
