6 Days Post Op My Diet and Weight Loss So Far

Well, I went to the ER yesterday to get my catheter taken out. I could not wait two more days... it was irritating me. My diet has been ok I think. I originally drank two 14 oz protein shakes a day (25g protein each) and almost two cups of water a day for about three days post op. Day four and five I added 1/3 cup of chicken broth...Today ( day 6) I ate 1/3 cup of cream of broccoli soup...had two protein shakes (25g protein each) and am working on my water at the moment. Surgery weight was 203 and today I weighed in at 194 so I lost 9lbs since surgery. I am in the in between stage of pants. My 18's are falling off yet the 16's are snug around my waste and saggy in the butt lol...still...I'm not complaining.I bought some moisturizing Olay face cream today and couldn't get the lid off for the life of me. I passed it around to a nine year old, two six year olds, and a four year old lol...they couldn't get it either but they sure did loosen it so when I tried really hard it finally opened. So that weakness and the inability to put tupperware lids on the 1/3 bowls of soup I was preparing are noted I have been sleeping on my back since day three and last night (day 5) I finally slept on my sides Yayyy! I called the surgeon also because I was getting grit backflow in my throat after drinking and he said I was probably still swollen....today has been much better with it so I am guessing my swelling is going down. I am going to try sleeping with my bipap on tonight. I have been really tired. Before when I tried sleeping with it I got a feeling of pressure in my chest I can't explain....and with the reflux I was kind of nervous about it so I kept telling myself tomorrow tomorrow....so tonight I resolve to use it.
