What A Difference!

Day 5 post op. Major difference for me. So far, I haven't had any sickness, throwing up, nausea, swelling. Nor did I have the drainage tubes.

Finally after 4 days the body kicked in had my first bm. It made a difference in the fact that I felt better and the stomach gurggling started again. LOL

I woke with minimal pain, without the meds. Coughing doesn't cause too much discomfort.

I will say the incisions are sometimes itchy, I see that as normal. Plus, according to my scale, down 11lbs. Add to that I already see a difference in the fit of my bra.

All that has seriously improved my mood.

It tells me that time is what is needed here. To heal, adjust and accept what changes we are going through.

Yes, I miss real food. I remind myself, this is temporary. Three more days until my follow up. Can't wait to see what changes unfold in the mean time.

If things don't seem to improve, make it through the day and see the difference tomorrow.
