Update 5 days after surgery
Hey all I had my surgery on the 28th. Today I am feeling alot better. I still don't think I am getting all my liquids in that I am supposed to, so I need to step it up today. I have my post opp today. Hope everything goes good. The only trouble I am having at home besides smelling my moms cooking is keeping the dogs off of me. They now something is up. My sister was going to post, but did forget all about it. She works two jobs so I am not going to hang her for it. Today I think will be my first day walking out of the house. I usually walk up and down the hallway since it is so long to get my exercis in. Well hope everybodies day is going good.
I am happy to hear that all went well. It is tough at the beginning to get all of the water in, but I found that if I always had a bottle of water next to me and just sipped all day (except the 1/2 hour before, during and after meals) it helped. Enjoy your walk outside it looks beutiful! I hope your post-op appointment goes well!

Don't know if you've already left for your appointment, but don't be surprised or upset if your weight is actually UP from your pre-op weight! The fluids they pump in you can really add up, and until you start flushing them out it can be a drag! I was up NINETEEN FRICKIN' POUNDS at my post op, I darn near wanted to strangle my surgeon! Until my precious nurse enlightened me and told me to take a pill. The chill variety.
Good luck to ya!
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Glad you are feeling better! Hope all went well at your appointment! It gets easier! Hang in there!

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO TAMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You LOSER you!
So glad to hear that everything went well for you. Sounds like you're doing fabulously,
don't feel bad about the liquids...I think it took the majority of us a little while to
get it all in.
Can't wait to see you again! Take care of you and remember.....
SIP, SIP, SIP, WALK, WALK, WALK! Oh yeah, rest once in awhile too.
