Post-op Day 6 And 7

Well yesterday was a world a difference from days 1-5. I didn't have to take pain medication all day. I felt INCREDIBLE! i did my hair and makeup and went shopping at the mall for a few hours. I still havent felt hungry so this whole liquid diet is not a problem. I am realizing how much I enjoy food though. We have beautiful desserts in the kitchen and im not hungry but i want to eat them. That is probably one of the hardest parts. But at least I get to eat ice cream... but that doesnt compare to a homemade stickybun. One of my closest friends got home from school in cali and my other friend came home as well so of course we were laughing all night. Needless to say, I had to go to sleep at 11pm because i was so incredibly sore. I rather be sore from laughing all night though than be sore from surgery. I slept till 7 and I feel great today!

 

Today... i woke up a little sore from last night but took a very small dosage of meds and I am good again. My swelling is finally going down. Today is ONE WEEK since surgery and I havent weighed myself today.. but as of yesterday i was 11 pounds down!!!! It is unreal... i feel like i am lying to everyone when i tell them i have lost that much weight but i really have. ITS JUST UNBELIEVABLE TO ME!!!
