Day 5

Hi everyone,

Its day five and I am feeling much better. Not very sore, very little gas pain (only at night really) and ready to get outside. I am stir crazy.

I am also a little hungry but trying to ignore it. Not starving but just a rumbling tum.

Just a short entry today to let you know I think the blues was a short term thing resulting from all the meds leaving my body and there is light on the other side. The sun is shinning and although I cant sleep on my side yet its all good. Plus the scales said I have lost 5lb this week! :wub:

Hope you are all well and on the road to recovery. Take care

Good morning! I am day 7 post op and feel a whole lot better too! I too still cannot sleep on my side so the little butt I did have will probably diminish and become flat as a board!!

One of my incisions is more sore than the others and to my surprise after my doctors visit its not even my port site!! I think it is because on day 4 my 3 year old had a melt down cause I couldnt hold her and she had a fit on the couch and I got a head bunt on my stomach. I know she didnt mean it and doesnt understand why mommy cant pick her up and hold her but dammit...the pain was incredible!! I wanted to turn up my bottle of meds and drink it straight from the bottle!! Damn a measuring cup. But anyway...all is gravy and i am down 12 pounds from the time I started my pre-op diet until now. Every morning I wake up and look in the mirror hoping to see fat hanging from my chin or gut I can just grab and throw away but no luck so far.

Keep pushing and I will try to respond as much as I can.

Hi Jacki, I bet you were in agony! I just knocked my against the sink and nearly cried. I have one on the other side to my port that is still a bit sore but other than that they are fine. I am not looking forward to having all the dressings and stitches off on Monday. I am sure thats going to hurt. I went out today and although I wasnt tired I was sore when I got home. Retired to the couch for an hour. Are you getting much rest with a little one?
