Post-op Day 6 (5/27)

Another day of slowly getting back to normal!

 

Last night I was actually able to sleep on my left side for about 30 min! Woo-hoo....it makes me so happy!

 

I had my 1-week post op appointment today. Everything went well. They weighed me...lost 15 lbs since my pre-op appointment! Dr Bobby gave me a prescription for some antibiotics...he thought maybe one of the incisions were starting to get infected. He said I can progress to pureed/mushy foods next Thursday...I can't wait to have some mashed potatoes!!

 

I went out on a date with my husband....first time since I started on the pre-op diet. We went to the Daily Grill and I had cream of tomato soup ....it was yummy. I ate half the cup (maybe 6-7oz) and brought the rest home. I kinda felt bloated after...weird, I don't think I 'over ate'.

 

Still struggling with some gas pains in my chest....I'm starting to wonder if they ever end?

I think you are doing great!!! Down 15 lbs total..sleeping on your left side (which that and tummy sleeping was very important to me) are huge steps. Walking out the gas is the best medicine, it will pass. Already on date night..awesome!!
