Ladies I feel great my incision is no where near as painful. Found this out yesterday. I am moving. Getting up and down almost normal. Drinking is a different topic seems like I am moving backwards with that. I am just always full. I think my surgeon took to much from me. I talked to my team they assured me it’s in my head 😂. How is everyone doing.

You're doing so great! I'm struggling with getting up and down with this pinched nerve - I keep laughing and it's making it worse! I can't help it! But doing the heating pad as recommended. Fluid I'm doing about 40oz but I don't feel dehydrated or light headed. Getting my little walks in, too! Can't believe tomorrow will be a week. One more week of liquids and then I can start my pureed on Thanksgiving. Is anyone hungry? I'm not really. food looks good but the thought of having to eat makes me kinda sick.

I haven’t felt it. I noticed yesterday. You will get there

As far as food go I need something to crunch I miss moving my mouth. My mom made bean stew I couldn’t help but to chew a bean. It felt so good to just move my jaw. I didn’t swallow cause I was scared. But I am ready for something different.

The numbers on the scale are going down. Now my problem with this is, is iit due to me not getting in what I need. I am starting to worry I am trying so hard to drink.

My incision pain is at a 2½ now compared to the 6 it was in the hospital. I too am moving around more. Just last night I started rolling over in bed. Can't stay in that position for very long but it's something. I am getting my fluids in I have an app I put in how much I've been drinking and it's been keeping "score" for me. I'm managing almost 50 oz a day of Water give or take. I'm also having popsicles and Protein Drinks as well as yogurt and Jello. I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week. I don't want to think about cooking. I'm still a bit too tired for that activity. These healing naps are for the birds and I miss out on all the good stuff. Anyone else napping?

I work from home so went back to work yesterday and I miss the naps! By 4:30 I'm drained. Ugh I wish I didn't pinch this nerve I would be right with you on the pain scale!

Ugh I am right there with you . I never realized how much the chewing and textured mattered . I spoke to my Nutritionist about this today. It’s challenging and it has been messing with me on an emotional level that I didn’t expect. Nice to know I’m not alone in this.

I can’t wait to get back to normal things in my life. I layed in the guest bedroom up until yesterday. Work is next. I am a nurse so I am not going back until I am healed completely.

I work from home as well. Today was my first day back, sleeved on 11/8, I did ok but I'm glad I have just tomorrow before some days off. I think when I start working a 5 day stretch, it's going to be very trying & I'll be wishing I could nap!!
