A Change is Coming...

Post op day 3. Feeling 300% better than yesterday! Still sore but I danced in the kitchen this morning and went for several short walks. I even read for about an hour in the sun. The weather down here is phenomenal!! Still trying to find a good position for sleeping. Being on my back sucks. I think the worst part is that I have to get these compression socks back on. Ughhhhhh

So it's 2:30AM and something just changed. I've taken my pain meds mostly regularly up until last night and every time they ask if I've passed gas it's always been minimal. But last night I decided to see if I could get through the night without it and I just woke up to the feeling of peristalsis for the first time since surgery. Big change in the bathroom trip!! I'm excited to be able to report this! 😆 🤣 😂

I'm wiped out! This morning I went with my husband to get him settled in for his neck lift. I drank about 10 ozs of Water while waiting. After he got to recovery i came to the apartment and drank some Tomato Soup and Protein Shake. They are concerned that I haven't pooped but I'm thinking there's nothing in there. The nutritionist told me to drink papaya puree with water. The doctor told me to do laxatives if that doesn't work. Our coordinator came and we went to the central market to get souvenirs and papaya juice. I've been sipping it and it has no sugar so it's very much just Fiber and water. 😆 Will report back on the results. 🤣 🤣 🤣
