Follow Up W/ Doc & Post-Op Day 6
Dec 21, 2010
Today is the first day that I have not taken any pain medication what-so-ever. I am feeling really good, just tire easily and feel like I need a nap. I am feeling pretty much 99% back to normal. I had my first follow up visit since surgery with Dr. Hendrick this morning and he says that I am doing very well and I am good to go and move on to the next diet phase (Full Liquids). He gave me a week by week guide to progress my diet and I see him again in 3 weeks, which is when I will get my first fill. I told him I was disappointed that after 6 days of clear liquids I only went from 223 to 222.6, so I basically lost nothing. He told me that its not unusal to not lose anything in that week and most people don't lose any if at all because in the hospital they pump you full of fluids and your swollen from surgery, etc. I pretty much knew that, but for some reason I was hoping to be an exception to the rule and lose some good amount of weight LOL. He also told me that I could go back to work if I wanted to. Well I don't want to, but I have to. I started this new program at work and we are trying to get it off the ground and producing some useable data, plus I am not getting paid for my time off, so it's back to work I go tomorrow.As for being post-op day 6 I am still not hungry, not waking up nauseated anymore, incisions are looking nice a healing up, soreness is all but gone. Feel almost back to pre-surgical baseline.
Take care all!
