Day 5 Post Op

[uni2424 48]

If I had to drink one more sweet Protein Shake today I think I was going to die. It took me 14 hours yesterday to get 2 down. I went today and got some unflavored Protein powder and mixed it in chicken broth! The day was saved! It was so good, already 32 oz down in 2 hours! No sweet stuff for me today! No real pain, more like soreness. No pain meds in 2 days. Swelling in stomach has gone down considerably. I fatigue easy. Getting up and doing things in spurts then sit down to rest. Walking regularly. sleeping in the bed, all night comfortably. Coughing is from the devil! Only thing I am taking is Gas X after walking to help with the constant burping. I have not been hungry per say, but I have seen some things that I would like to eat like chips n Salsa or Chick Fil A nuggets. As soon as I think about those trying to go down the want for these quickly passes. So far I am very pleased I have made this decision!

Just FYI once you can have meat, Chick-Fil-A has naked nuggets. They're not nreaded and not fried. Just in case you pass Chick-Fil-A and cant help yourself

Hope your healing continues to go pretty well!
