2 weeks Post-Op

Jul 02, 2018

Tomorrow I will officialy be 2 weeks post-op. I have not had many complications during my liquid phase. However after 1 week the doctor said I could start supplements. I thought I was going to die that day because of the gas and pain. I discontinued them after that day which he is aware and will restart them tomorrow. Otherwise I've lost nearly 15lbs during this phase. It's a strugle to stay hydrated but my family has been super supportive and daily they show up with new items for me to try to consume, i.e. various protien waters, broths, sugar free popsicles. I constantly have to remind my mom that it's ok for me to have a life. I frequently go to karaoke on Sundays. So yeaterday was the first day I went out to go sing. She was paranoid I would hurt myself and could not see why would I go somewhere where I could not eat and drink. If anything I reassured her I would be fine. Where I go for karaoke most of the staff knew about my surgury. So it was fine. I had the broth from chicken noodle soup and water...proving to my mom that my life doesn't end just because of the surgury. This week I head off to Vegas for a few days to have some fun. Yes it will be a challenge but I love challenges :)
