end of day 4 post op

so im at the end of day 4 post op and i feel a lot better. i have a lot more energy, a lot less pain and a lot more hope! i still have pain when i eat and i really havent been able to eat (really drink) much at all. i know that i havent gotten nearly enough water in, but im doing the best that i can. i have managed to eat a little split pea soup, without any of the chewable things in it. i only could get down about 4 teaspoons before i was totally full. popsicles are my friend, so is chicken broth. i cant wait to be totally healed.

as far as my incision sights, the doc only used steri strips, no stiches or staples. i dont know if that is common or not but i was plesantly surprized! i dont even think that anybody will be able to see the scars because i heal really well. the outside of the tummy doesnt hurt at all. the inside muscles are pretty soar still, but the lovely lortab is helping me through that.

swallowing my food is still really painful. still feels like a brick hitting my stomach. then my tummy makes flip flops and all sorts of noises and painfull twitches for about 2-3 minutes. after that i feel fine.

i have already lost more than 3 pounds since surgery and that is increadible! i weighed myself the day i got home from the hospital and i weighed more than when i left for the hospital, but that can be explained by all the iv fluids that they pumped inside of me. then the very next day (today) i weighed myself and i had lost all that weight plus the 3 pounds...happy happy joy joy....i have kinda moved back to clear liquids except for the split pea soup tonight because they feel better. hopefully in the next couple of days i can start to add in more of the full liquids again. i guess its true that i have a babys stomach again and i need to take baby steps. lol

time for bed.....have i said it lately???? i love this site!!!!!!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
