Day 7 One week in - WOW that went quick were do the days go???

I am a little tender in the stomach and the leg numbness hasn't eased any which is frustrating me to no end....

No hunger today made some great fresh fruit juice and home made chicken soup in the blender this has kept me going all day it is truely amazing when you think about it how little food we actually need the human body is an amazing thing.

I've been up and about today doing a little house work, I feel a little tired but overall I'm feeling great. I have been reading a lot of blogs and most people seem to be in a lot of discomfort and pain in the first few weeks and have trouble with liquids..... I must have a great surgeon or be very lucky and be blessed with a great pain threshhold to those in pain I wish you all well and hope it will soon pass ........

1.2km today on the treadmill walking my way to good health

I am so glad to finally hear someone say that are doing good and have little pain. This has been worrying me. I have a high threshold for pain, but I have a fear that this is going to get me down. I will have my surgery on Nov. 17th and will be off work for 2 weeks. How soon after surgery did you start walking on your treadmill?

I, too had very little pain, more of a soreness...never ever took pain meds. Today was my first day of blended food and I feel a little different...not quite queasy but not quite right...We'll see how dinner goes...I'm sure I'll adjust! This is an amazing adventure!
