It will be a week tommrow since my surgery and i can say other than my sore right side from the drain and feeling tired i am doing good. i am so happy, not ever hungry and amazed at how little i need to eat now.... one protein shake and jello and i am stuffed!!! still have heart burn if i drink too fast but otherwise no problems. I have not really lost weight, i was 217 when i checked into the hospital and this morning i was 212 but i think its mostly the water coming out of my system from the surgery. I will take it however!! any loss is good loss water or not !! well i will keep on blogging!! have a great day

post op day 5
· amy terese · 09/05/2011 19:21
ok yeah i have made it to post op DAY 5.... overall the surgery went well with a few bumps in the post op road but nothing that i couldn't handle. The toughest part is my doc will absolutely not let me back to work before my 3 week check up... i am freaking out because i didn't tell me job i had this surgery ..they think i am on vacation!!! i will just have to figure a good excuse...... i thought i would be able to go back tommrow day 6 but he said since i do heavy lifting he doesn't want to take a chance i might pull the internal staples out....i just will have to figure out something.....everything else is going well...the gas pains are easier up alot , i walked my dogs today and that seemed to really help. i am able to drink the protein shake without any problems... it just takes me an hour but thats ok, i have been getting 30 to 40 ounces of other fluid in daily and i have started puree soups as well as broth. the only hard thing is it takes all day to get it in because if i go to fast i burb and get bad heartburn....my best friends... a baby sippy cup that only allows a sip tp come out and a baby spoon for my soup... that way i know i am not overdoing it... i m absolutely not hungary and i am satisfied with the little amounts of food i am eating ....lets here it for my journey as i am on my way !! yeah!!!!!
