I think you will be fine. Let some of your friends know that you might need their help on certain days. One think that I got that is helpful is the clasp thingy for picking things up when I drop them because it's hard to bend down lol it's silly but it's helpful.

Post op day 5:

Doing much better today, drain output is looking better and better everyday, I seem to be able to go longer without the pain meds, had really bad gas pains yesterday, hoping to have BM so I can feel even better. Follow up with surgeon tomorrow, might be removing the drain, just keep on working on my Protein intake and fluids... I realized that my sips have to be even smaller then what I was already thinking small... Definitely something to get used to.

Hi all,

It's been a week since surgery... I am doing much better, finally able to tolerate Water that is room temperature, before I was getting pain with anything that wasn't warm, which I am excited about because I can keep sipping and getting my Water intake up.

I got my drain and stitches out but still have the strips on. Went for a about 30-45 min walk with doggies and hubby today, got pretty tired so nap is definitely about to happen. That's one thing is that I don't have energy but it will come. So far I am tolerating everything l ( the only thing I had yesterday was Mexican tortilla broth) and I didn't even think about this before I had it, but had some discomfort after it and I think it's because it has pepper at some point... I am supposed to stay away from pepper for a while.

5.9 lbs down since surgery.... I will definitely be a slow loser but I will still to what I need to do and hopefully get there.
