Day 4 post-op...feeling about 85 % normal!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Monday, March 24, day 2 and part of day 3 were the hardest for me. Got nauseated about 3 times, but since then I'm feeling better with each day. Today was the first day I felt a little hungry after smelling my husband's dinner cooking. This morning I had 1/2 cup of Tomato Soup and this evening I had 1/2 a can of fat free cream of chicken without the meat. It took me about 20 minutes to eat it & it was great. After about an hour I heated the rest and ate all of it too. I've been drinking 1/2 H20 &1/2 apple or crangrape juice. Which has been pretty easy to drink . I have also being taking teaspoons of a Protein supplement to try to get my protein in, although I haven't been able to get it all my protein just yet but hopeful to get it in. Know this might sound silly, but I felt I cheated because the Soup was so good and i couldn't tell if I was really full or if i was just being greedy. Nevertheless I'm Trying tto journal this journey as to keep me accountable to myself.

I am 4 days post op as well. I can only drink about an ounce of Water or my boost then I have to wait 15 minutes. Each day has gotten better. Walking has gotten easier. I am on boost shakes until I see my dr April 8th. I don't feel hunger at all and smelling food doesn't appeal to me either. I have to remind myself to drink.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
