Post op day 6 and Hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jul 04, 2011

I had my surgery on June 28th. Tomorrow is officially one week post op. Surgery went well. Have been tolerating full liquids for 6 days now. No vomiting. Although I think hunger has officially set in. I'm finding myself surrounded by summer BBQ's and wanting to have fresh corn on the cob etc...Still wondering if this is normal to feel this way????  
I decided to weigh myself day 2 post op and actually gained 4 lbs. They said it was from a fluid shift. Needing to be encouraged by the scale on  the 15th which is my post op visit.

I find I like the Atkins pre mixed chocolate shakes. The only other full liquids I like are 1. sugar free jello. 2. sf chocolate pudding. 3. Mashed potatoes. So that's pretty much my 2 week diet. 
As for pain. I did well!!! IV toradol in the hosp. home on tylenol added tylenol with codeine only for bed time for 5 days. Slept in the recliner for 5 nights.

Started using the binder day 6 and what a difference it makes. I highly recommend the abd binder!!!!!!!!
