One week post op

Apr 22, 2014

So far...so good! My surgery went smoothly and without complications. Apparently I was quite chatty in recovery and even more funny on post op dilaudid! My husband Scott went back to work today...so I'm on my own. I'm off all pain meds...so I'm even gonna drive today and pick the kids from school. It looks like I'm already down about 10 lbs on my unreliable scale...but it could be more :) I am amazed that I essentially have no hunger for the first time in my life...that's weird! But awesome! The biggest challenge is drinking all the protein shakes. I really do not like them...a few are better than others. Followed by ...yucky chewable vitamins. Seriously? I swear they tasted better pre-op. All a small price to pay...but can't wait for 3 week mushy foods. I enjoyed Easter despite all the food and candy...and watching others eat. I didn't find it tempting or feel deprived...I simply wish I didn't have to drink any thing protein fortified! I hate protein shakes ! That is all.
