8 days post op

Today has been a good day. I went for a short walk and sat outside for 30 minutes.  I'm sitting up longer and the incisions are lessening in pain, but I can not wait for the staples to come out.

Let me first say every doc is different in some things, so just sharing my own experience:  I left the hospital on a clear liquid diet.  I'm realizing that even 100% fruit juice is way too sweet and keeps me in the bathroom.  So I'm drinking water of course, Gatorade and watered down flavored water. I have jello and take a couple bites when I feel it (not big on jello).

i go for my 1st follow up this Thursday, hopefully the staples will come out and I have lap work to do.

Slow process, but hoping it will continue to get better daily.

Slim, I am glad to hear your are doing well. What surgery did you have?

Thank you. Gastric bypass.
