Just had my Lapland performed today!!!! I couldn't sleep last night and I am blessed by God that I can now recover and start a healthier life with my family!!! Any suggestions for my speedy recovery? ??

Follow your docs orders, and walk as much as possible. So happy to hear things went well. You are on the journey my friend, and I wish you well!

Thank You very much and it's very nice to meet you..I'm new to this so I figured I can learn from you all so that I later can also share with newcomers!!!

Some tips...

Protein is essential to wound healing...so eat your protein

Drink lots of water

Mind your pain...take pain meds as needed, sit down when you feel strained and take it easy to until your body is fully recovered

Liquid stage and mushy stage may be a challenge, but don't try to push transition too soon. Let that band settle in so it can work for you when you get ready for solids

Thank yourself daily for making the best decision of your life...don't let small setbacks let you forget it

Welcome to the other side. Follow your drs orders and be patient. You may not feel back to normal for a few weeks and that's ok.
