So, I'm 10 days post op and has been doing well. The pain (from the gas) got progessively better. I only have occasional discomfort now and again and I can't tell if it's hunger, most of my irritation comes from my incisions (i'm trying not to pick at them like a little kid). I went to work yesterday and didn't get home til after 6 pm (so much for my half days, lol). my energy level has been holding up. My coworkers ate lunch in front of me and it did not even phase me, I notice the food but didn't feel like attacking them to get it
. I am now able to take at least 50 oz of fluid which seems like a miracle to me. I have not been concentrating on vitamins or protein intake, I didn't want to overwhelm myself by trying to do too many things at once and i knew i would be fine for a couple of weeks. Today is my last day of clear liquids, I am so happy but also scared (i don't want to get sick by eating the wrong thing or doing it too fast, I haven't vomit at all after surgery). My goal is to increase my protein intake and start on some vitamins. I have lost 14 pounds so far as of yesterday, which is amazing to me. I went to my gym today (no major exercise for me for a while) to get my measurements and fitness level and my total fitness score is fair, I cant wait till I m in excellent fitness.
So hang in there, everyday gets better.
