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?
