post op day 2

Feb 22, 2014

I was sleeved Thursday 2/20 and it went very smoothly! The doctor said my liver looked great so I guess that god awful pre op diet was worth it. He did a wonderful job, I had almost no pain in the hospital- only used the morphine pump a few times. I got to go home Friday morning. Even though my stay was great I was glad to be home and snuggle with my puppy and husband.

My program has me on clear liquids for 2 days after surgery, basically the pre op diet minus the protein shakes. Tomorrow I start pureed/ soft foods. I can have yogurt, smoothies, cream soup, oatmeal, and of course my protein shakes. I don't think that will be too hard for me. On day 7 I can add eggs which I am so excited for! Never in my life have I wanted scrambled eggs so badly!

So I am doing well so far. Today has been a little harder than yesterday. I wanted to get out of the house and do something so we went to a mexican place so he could get lunch and I could just sip on an iced tea. I didn't think it would bother me too much because I don't like that place that much. But oh boy, when he brought out the chips and queso, I wanted some so badly! Lol! But I resisted.. yay! Now we are home and I am feeling pretty worn out... might take a nap soon.
