Day 5 of Recovery

I had a good nights sleep last night again. Sleep is really key to feeling better. Some soreness at the laproscopy areas. I have 5. I've taken quick showers since I've been home but the bandage strips are still intact. It will take a few weeks for them to come off I think. My stomach muscles are tender but getting their strength back. I can sit up on the side of the bed with little trouble.

I woke up feeling good. I still used the body pillow against me though.

I felt so good I thought I'd go out to the grocery store to pick up some protein shakes and some cream soups. Unfortunately I overdid it and walked a bit too much. My stomach started hurting and I just wanted to sit down. Riding in the car was a little uncomfortable too. Thankfully my daughter was able to drive us home. :eek: She's getting her license next month.

I had some HEB yogurt drink for breakfast before we left this morning and some blended and strained cream of potato soup for lunch after we got back. It was a nice change from all the juices. I am noticing that I get hungry from time to time.

I still feel the gurgling gas quite a bit. Each day it gets a bit better though.

I'm also taking a chewable multivitamin every day. I got a sample from my surgeons office.

I've got to remind myself to drink more water though. I've noticed I sometimes go for a few hours without a sip and I really shouldnt do that. :redface:
