2 Days Post-Op

[kandikay76 21]

Well, it's two days after my surgery. I feel better today than I did yesterday that's for sure. The gas pain was the worst yesterday I think. Not so bad today. I have one dose of my pain killer (lortab) left and I don't think I will take it anymore after its gone. The heating pad has been an awesome thing to have. Haven't really had much desire to "eat" anything, I have only had two small shakes and a half cup of yogurt since surgery. I almost wanted to gag trying to eat the yogurt, but I am trying to keep up the Protein.

I have been doing some light chores around the house, and went to the store and walked around a bit, trying to be up and moving to get rid of this gas pain which I think is the worst part so far. I am able to remove the dressings today for a shower! Pretty excited about that.

Haven't really been nauseous thankfully. Just gassy sore and the port incision is pretty tender. I'm sure tomorrow will be even better yet!

I am a side sleeper, so sleeping on my back hasn't been real fun, but I'm hoping to be able to get back to normal there in a couple weeks.

Husband has been SUPER AWESOME and I am blessed to have him to help.

If anybody wants to keep in touch e-mail wise or anything I would be more than happy!

Blessings to all!

I've been looking for someone to talk to, I'm not banded yet but pretty nervous, have lots of questions and I have my last nutrition appt this Monday. I just think it would be good to talk to someone on the other side. Congrats my email is ekellyj@aol.com if you feel up for it. -Kelly

I got banded on wed and today was much better than yesterday. Though I slept most of the day I have been walking a bit. That makes my incisions tender though. I still can't believe I did it. It seems like a dream. Can't wait for the healing to be finished and the real changes to begin. Hope everyone else is doing good on their journey too.
