What are you doing week 1 post op?

Day 3 post op, doing well ! I take walks up and down the block 3 or 4 times a day, walk around the house , shower, read with my kids, watch tv and drink liquids all day. Sound right? I have taken about a 1 hour nap today and yesterday. Each day is a little better!

Dying for next week I've been in liquids over 2 weeks and next week on the 4th of July I can eat puréed food I'm already making a grocery list and schedule ;)

What is on your grocery list?

One week post op I was in my recliner asleep. I came home with a sleeve' date=' an umbilical hernia and a severely sprained neck. I was still on T3 and major muscle relaxers. I slept several times a day AND all night. I didn't start to really become coherent till the middle or end of the second week... 3 weeks out and my neck is still sore and so is the repaired hernia, which I JUST strained catching myself from a fall this morning. UGH! :0)[/quote']

I had a really sore neck too!! So did another girl I met in the hospital. She went to her chiro on day 4 for it. I wonder what they did to us lol

I'm day ten post op, returned to work day nine, no issues getting three glasses protein shake in, plus another fifty oz of crystal light, first day or two was slow going.. Was released day after surgery, started doing 1.5 mile walks day after that. Only time I've been nausea or puked was day of surgery..

I have oatmeal, yams, mash potatoes, eggs, fruits, tuna, yogurt, applesauce, puddings, and refried beans of course everything will be puréed.

I'm 10 days post op..started purée foods 2 day ago. I can only eat about 5-6 teaspoons at the most and I'm full. Definitely getting my liquids in. I feel awesome and I love how I can see the difference in my clothes already. Best decision I could have made.

Day eight for me. Still spend a lot of time in the recliner. Per doctor's orders' date=' a minimum of 64 oz liquid and 100 grams Protein. Walk the block several times a day. Even drove the car for a spell today. Dying for pureed foods but that is another three weeks away.[/quote']

I am day 20 and I still have 10 more days to go on full liquids. I can't wait until I can have puréed foods. Ricotta cheese, cottage Cheese and mashed potatoes never looked so good!

Funny story:

The day I got home from surgery, I went to "breakfast" with my brother and dad. They had the special: eggs, potatoes, bagel, coffee - $5.49.

I ordered chicken broth and hot decaf tea. They charged me for "soup" $3.99 and $1.99 for the tea.

You do the math...
