Post Op Day 4

[Jazzcat 43]

Well day 4 is here and it is true, for me at least. Each day I have seen improvement. Yesterday I really struggled to get the liquids in. Didn't make the 46 oz mark. Today I am doing much better I am halfway there. Just sipping on some broth. The key is to keep moving, walking breathing etc. I have stairs which are great to go up and down. Really helps with gas pains. NO REGRETS at all. Just following the drill to a T. The Hospital staff was great and my Doctor was fantastic couldn't be happier.

I didn't have any coating in my mouth per se, but at the end of the day, my teeth feel slimy (comparatively speaking), which I assume is due to Protein drinks and no actual textured food.

I do have my follow up dr appt today, so I hope to learn more about what to expect in the days to come.

Yep, May 5th. Getting back to normal. Getting used to the break up between me and food.

I like that analogy. "Break up between me and food"...that is exactly what it feels like.

I am gonna miss Pasta. I hope she finds someone new and is happy.
