Ugly Bruises

So day 5... here come the bruises. That I do remember. With my gallbladder the bruising was instant here its not 5 days after surgery the bruising starts? that's pretty much my pain now and a little where my port is. I haven't used any pain meds at all today... i'm pretty sure the swelling has gone down as I can eat a whole pudding cup and not feel full... i'm down 11 lbs though.. I go back to work on Thursday and not looking forward to it!!!

    i had bruises for about a month (i also had to take 2 shots per day in my tummy for blog clots) so i looked like i got beat up in a gang jump in. it does get better..great weight loss so far. as the swelling subsides, you will be able to eat/drink more..just make the best choices. sounds as if you are doing GREAT. keep it up.

    ps-i dreaded going back to work and i was exhausted after that first day. operations, major ones, do take alot out of you.

    Deft sticking to what the dr told me... I always push my self too far and I don't want to risk it this time. I am very surprised in how much I actually like sugar free stuff so I think that will stay with me as I go. The good thing is I only have to go to work Thursday and Friday then get the weekend off so I'm only sticking my feet in for now
