One week post op
Nov 12, 2009
I had my one week post op yesterday. I am down 12 pounds. Everything looked good. Had some problems after surgery because I am very sensitive to pain meds so I was in the hospital an extra 2 days. I kept telling them it was the pain meds so I finally refused to take anymore.
Today I get to start soft foods. Tried some cottage cheese this morning...sure didn't taste the same as before surgery. I could only eat a coupe very small bites, not because I was full, it just made me nauseous. Actually, the only food that even sounds good right now are the ones I cannot have. Guess, I will be eating more and more SF popsicles.
I just cannot wait for all the inflammation and soreness to go away so I can get busy with things again. Before surgery, I had a pair of jeans that were really baggy, tried them on last night and I could barely button them! I was shocked...lose 12 lbs and my pants are tighter?! But that is how swollen my abdomen still is. I know once that goes away I will feel so much better. Just how much longer will I have to wait?
