Hello monday banders 12/29. 6 days post-op. I had a very hard 2 day recovery. By the 3rd day my aunt was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and I had to muster up the strenght to go to the hospital to tend to her. I am her power of attorney. The walking around was hard but it probably did me good to walk. I have no pain except at the port site which is tolerable. I am not hungry but want something with full flavor and texture in my mouth. Someone said that they looked at the food network and that it help. I have been also and really believe it helps give me some ideas of what different kinds of foods that I can try when I get to get solids again. I am not feeling normal just yet. I get tried after a short walk and have to sit down because the port side pain is a little much. I ate 2 macdonalds french fries today because i was curious to know how I would react. I don't have restriction yet but have not felt hunder pains. I have lost 9lbs since surgery. I got to figure out how to get one of those ticker strip to show my weight loss. later for now.
