Post-Op: Day 8

May 27, 2009

Well, what a difference a week makes. Holy Smokes! I've lost 15 pounds since surgery day! 

I feel a lot better and my incisions are all healing nicely. The band-aids are off and I'm not even really worrying about them anymore. I'm only taking the pain medication at night so I can sleep on my side, which still bothers me a little bit.

I did have a small problem last night with some jell-o though. I took too big of a bite I think because it got stuck on the way down and I ended up doubled over in pain and sliming for about half an hour.
So, small bites and lots of chewing are the rules of the day.

I've found that ss long as I'm not hungry I don't mind not eating. At least for right now. A week of not eating anything and the protein was a nice step up. I've been walking and doing work around the house, but I'm kind of excited to get the all clear from Dr. Srikanth to start my full exercise routine so I can start doing Bikram Yoga again. I know the weight is just going to melt off once I get going in my practice again.
