1 week post op! Moving Back to School Tomorrow:/
Mary Ash commented on Mary Ash's blog entry in Blog 82362
So today makes one week since I have had my surgery. Honestly this week has went by really fast and I am definitely healing. It does still hurt to sit/stand/bend down but it is getting better each day. I move back into the dorms tomorrow and classes start on Thursday. A lot of new worries come about with going back to school. Just little challenges I guess. My first request to lower or drop my meal plan was denied so they want me to pay 3000$ a semester for meals that are I will not be eating because of sheer volume and lack of healthy options! A little bit mad about that but I am working on that problem now getting in touch with different people. I'm interested to see how all of my friends are going to react when I get back, even the ones that know about my surgery. There was mixed reactions from the people I told most supportive but still a few "why would you need to do that"s. Soooo basically tomorrow and the rest of this week should be interesting to say the least. Hopefully will get back on here at some point. Until then.... Mary -
Thanks for the support!! Ugh yes I am lucky no pre op diet for 2 weeks . My surgeon used to require that thankfully changed his policy!

Wow I can't believe I'm actually getting surgery in two days. This whole process feels like it went by pretty fast. I'm into day six of the liquids pre op diet and it really sucks. I guess it is especially hard because I couldn't eat over the New Years celebrations. But honestly I cannot wait to just get surgery over with now although I am getting nervous now that it is so close :/ O well heres hoping all goes well.

HI! Its been a week now and I think I am doing pretty well. First post op check up tomorrow morning. I'm doing fine drinking eating etc so far but it still hurts when sitting, standing , bending over etc which I expected I guess. I'm going back to school and starting classes again on Thursday so a bunch of new struggles will be coming my way. I hope your doing well with everything!

Hey Its been a week now and I think I'm doing really well. First post op check up with my surgeon tomorrow morning so will see for sure. It was really hard at first to drink all of the necessary fluids but got easier quick.
I get most of the protein in because I kind of put that together with the liquids by drinking protein shakes, kill two birds with one stone. Small sips constantly is the best way, it definitely is not comfortable to drink a lot at once!
