Ready to get back on track

Ready to get back on track

Hope your first day back to work went ok. I go back on Monday and I'm not looking forward to that either. My drain site is also still oozing. I thought it was closed but cleaned it really good today and realized it was still open. I'm trying to start getting some protein in but it's hard. Haven't been getting 64 oz of fluids in either but I'm hitting 48 oz. Honestly having just a little buyer's remorse but I know that's normal. I just wish I could fast forward 3-4 weeks to speed this healing process along. Today I did notice I had less energy when I took my niece to the zoo. I had to rest several times, but I made it through. Otherwise all is well. Good luck with your recovery. TTYL

My gas pains are lessening everyday, Thank God. I did my first protein drink on yesterday and it went ok. Got a little gassy. Today I tried some loose cream of wheat with Lactaid skim milk and that was great because I was starting to get some mild hunger pains. I started taking Omeprazole 3 days after surgery because I was having excruciating false "hunger" pains and it really helped. I feel pretty good. No real soreness that I can think of. Occasional left sided pain, but that's all. Congrats on your weight loss!! I'm down 15 lbs from pre-op myself so I'm very pleased also. How's the hubby?

Thank you so much. I'm doing well. My mother and I went over to Horton Plaza in San Diego and did some shopping for a few hours. I don't have any fatigue, or anything, just a slight soreness of my abd and also a weird feeling when I swallow, but otherwise doing great.

I planned on it even though I wasn't told to but never got started. I just have to do the 3 days of clear liquids. My surgery date is 9/3. I'm going to be good next week starting Sunday. I want to do all liquids starting then instead of Tuesday to give myself a quicker recovery and reduce my risk of complications.

I'm sorry I'm so late to respond. Yay! We will get to meet:) The time is winding down. How are you feeling?

Hi excited to lose. I live in COlumbus, OH too. I'll be self pay and wondered where you had your surgery?
