Day 4 Post Op - I want chicken lo mein!

Starting to feel a little better this morning. I have decided that sleeping in the basement without my husband snoring and being able to sleep almost sitting up is helping me. I woke up this morning and decided to go for a walk and much to my surprise, my husband decided to come with me. Our kids had a sleepover last night, so it was just us and the dog. It was nice and something we don't normally do together.

The walk helped the gas pains and I already can tell that I'm feeling better. I know I still have more to get out, because I'm still bloated and uncomfortable, but it's only been 4 days. I sneezed this afternoon and you would have thought someone shot me. I was looking for the blood because I honestly thought I blew out my wounds! It hurt so bad, the worse pain I have felt so far. I've learned that getting up and the heating pad are really helping me.

I've decided to try blended foods today, my post op diet says that I can have 5 shakes or 3 shakes and blended foods. I've already tried jello and it tastes so good. I'm going to try blended tuna and mayo, not looking forward to the texture, but I have to try. I just can't wait to be able to have my favorite chicken lo mein again! I know it will be a smaller portion, and I will have to chew it well, but I can't stop thinking about chicken lo mein!
