Day 3 Post Op

[Cat B 30]

Today is my 3rd day Post Op. Had my surgery on Monday. Overall, I am doing good! My surgery went great! I am moving around ok. My pain level is normal. My greatest pain is the biggest insertion site. The gas pain is slowly going away. It is mostly in my chest and shoulders. Taking the chewable Gas X. I mostly slept all day once I came home from the hospital. I did not meet my Protein nor liquids goal yesterday. I plan to meet it today. My biggest challenge is my meds. Getting them down in the crushed state! They are just plain NASTY!! I am happy to begin this second part of my journey and have been feeling at peace.

Wow, you're doing great! That's awesome. I'm two weeks post-op and pills were my biggest challenge, too. Keep up the good work and have a speedy recovery!

Wonderful! Congratulations on your smooth transition. If you have days that feel like things aren't going your way, keep days like this in mind. You got this!

I’m 2 days post op, taking all my pills without crushing, they’re going down ok. No where near getting my Protein or Water in but I’m trying. Slight nausea, a lot of abdominal soreness, some gas. Ready to move on.

Same here Day 3 post op- not anywhere close to Water intake goal. I can’t add Protein until day 6. Praying this phase passing quickly. And I still haven’t had a bowel movement...TMI

Drinking my Smoothe Move tea in the hopes of moving things around, Some abdominal pain but nothing that is to bad, I am enjoying taking a nap mid day, it feels like a real luxury, Still struggling to get my Protein and Water in daily. 2 more weeks of full liquids then 4 weeks of soft Proteins. Looking forward to real food. I have lost 5 lbs since my surgery although I am not focusing on it.

Hang in there ladies, we got this!
