Post op and doing great
Mar 19, 2013
I survived my surgery and did well! Surgery was Feb. 28, 2013 and with the exception of first couple of days: NO PAIN! I was in the hospital Thursday and sent home on Sunday. I didn't take any pain meds after Monday--How crazy is that?
So far, I have lost about 20lbs and I am slowly starting to get my protein and water in me every day. I find I am hungry every couple of hours and when I eat my 1/4 to 1/3 cup of whatever pureed delight I have to eat, I am full. Not uncomfortable, but full. It's a feeling I am not so familiar with.
Tomorrow I have another swallow test (my doc does one the day after surgery and then at three weeks) and hopefully I get moved onto soft foods, so I don't have to feel like a toothless nursing home patient.
I went back to work yesterday, and other than feeling tired, I am good!
Almost there

One week and two days and I will be in surgery. I can't wait to have the right tools to change my life. And, I am terrified. I cleaned closets and drawers this weekend--not sure if it is a nesting thing like before my children were born, or what.
I have made soups and broths and froze them, filled the pantry with all the stuff on my list. So, here we go. I'm ready!
