Well, I am now just 3 days after my surgery. I am feeling ok other than some pain in my back and I think this is from me laying on the operating table and also the way I have been using other muscles to help me get up and down. The gas pains after surgery were and is awful, the most painful part. I remember waking up in recovery and hurting so bad.The next morning it was improving some and I tolerated the ice chips and the liquid breakfast they brought to me so I got to go home that day.
Today I am still sore and can move about and walk about pretty good. I do get tired easily though. Today I also was getting really depressed and Rene had a great idea and so we walked outside to the mail box and around the corner of the house. She pulled the hose pipe out and let me rinse off my car. It was covered with pollen and so I enjoyed doing that little bit of activity. Then I had an idea to just go riding around for a few minutes and so we did. It helped me so much to just get out of the house and feel some sun shine.
I am trying to get in the protein but not getting in all they suggest but I think that's normal right now. I am chewing my multi vitamins and calcium and B12. I do sometime think, boy I could have a BBQ sandwhich right now if I didnt have this surgery but I know the reasons why I did this and its to lose weight and keep it off and that part is up to me. I have to remember that right now I can not have these things but someday I can have a bite but of course better choices of product.
I know I will be able to "eat" again but I am prepared for what that will be. Protein, Protein!!!
I am excited still but also in the surgery mode too.....everything hurts...lol. I know it will get better as time goes by and I am looking forward to that time. I am going to get out again tomorrow for a bit and go to Bed Bath and Beyound and buy a scale for home. I want to weigh myself every week so I can document in my journal. I will post more later as I weigh and improve from surgery.
