One week post-op! WOO HOO!

Week one is behind me!!! WOO HOO!!!! It can only get better from here. I am so exited for my Dr. appointment tomorrow, to get my bandages and staples removed and add some more foods to my list. I am ready!!

The hardest part for me has been sleeping. Since I am a side sleeper, I have had to sleep in a Lazy-boy chair. It has been rough, but I finally had a break through last night. I got in four mini naps, as I call them compared to 2 the previous days. It is getting easier every night and I am sleeping longer. I'm trying to move on to my side a little more every night. I also go upstairs when I take my showers and try the bed and see how long I can stand it. I don't want to be in pain needlessly I think pressure points wake me up at night more than the abdomen. I'm doing well in that area.

There under the Strips??

My surgeon uses two staples on the outside for each incision. His personal choice instead of surgical tape. I get those out tomorrow not the inside ones.

I hope I don't have any I go Friday to get my stripped off

I've been told they do not hurt. They are cut with a special tool and each end removed. Two people have verified this. I'm not worried.
