3 Days Post-OP Feeling Good

Hello All

Well, I'm 3 days post-op and so far feeling good.  I'm doing the full liquid diet now small amounts on the spoon and then wait in between spoons.  I have taken time in eating my thined mashed potatoes only an half cup but I didn't fini**** and was full.  I didn't try anything for the first 24 hrs I had to do an leak test first but after that it was clear liquids which were a little hard going down but that was from the swelling but it is much better now.  Walking has been an challenge for me though it seems that I'm very tired and weak but I'm walking anyway I figure I will build up.  But overall I feel great not a lot of pain which is great.  So, I'm on my way to an new me.........

That's great! You'll be VERY impressed with yourself in 6 months! Good luck and congratulations on taking the step toward a new and better life!
