3 Days Post-Op

Feb 04, 2010

Whew....

I thought this was going to be easier than it is. It's really hard to drink the amount of water that they want you to. I'm constantly sipping and its never really enough. The gas is virtually gone (which is fantastic!) That was some of the worst pain EVER! When they pulled the drain tube out of my tummy when I was being released that eased quite a lot of discomfort too. That tube was about a foot long and that sucker hurt!

I'm breathing in the little Air thing to make sure my lungs are open and clear and I'm doing my leg exercises regularly. The sodium free broth is disgusting but an ounce or two of it is tolerable. I'll make it work. I have found that sugar free peach jello is my favorite thing to eat in these first stages. Well, that's all I have to report but if your coming up on your surgery date and you have questions, just ask. Also....if you have had the surgery and you have any words of advice or any suggestions, please drop me a line or two.

Thanks,

Brandi
