one week after surgery
Well, I'm one week after surgery and doing just fine. The worst part of the surgery was staying in the recovery room for over 7 hours because there was no inpatient bed for me. Luckily, I work in a hospital and was not shocked by everything going on around me. The pain wasn't as bad as I expected it to be and I wasn't even as bruised as I thought I would be. I am supposed to be on lliquids only for the next week and then progress to pureed foods, but the protein drinks gave me horrible diarrhea so I am now doing pureed foods. It's interesting how I sense being full now and stop eating. This is not something I would ever do before surgery. The other thing that amazes me is how tired I am - but then I realize that this was major surgery and my body needs time to heal. My first follow up appointment is next week.
