I was going to hit the gym today, but only slept 4 hours last night as I got sucked into a Youtube vortex. I am going to the mall with my work wife to hit up Sephora, so I'll easily get my 10,000 plus steps today.
Almost 2 weeks post op!!!! :)
Food:
2 premier protein
1 liter of water (it's the goal)
8oz of faux coffee (some of premier protein will be used as creamer)
Hopefully by the time I get to the soft food phase I can have set meals instead of sipping/grazing through out the day.

I opened my work email and saw my inbox and then decided it was a good moment to turn off my computer.

I will say that I've had zero complications (so far). I think I made recovery a lot scarier in my head than it ended up to be. The first two days, I admit, were horrible, but it's so much better on the other side. If you're feeling apprehensive about having surgery because of the recovery, don't let it detour you. Some may have pain and nausea longer than me, but it's not excruciating. Best decision of my life.

WOOHOO! Why to Go! Remember this feeling as you go forward. There will be challenges ahead and if you stop and remember how you feel now what ever you are getting ready to take a bite out of will not be worth this feeling!

So glad you are doing so well!
Congratulations I'm glad you're doing so great! I am someone with a very low pain tolerance and I'm just hoping and praying that my recovery will be as smooth as yours. I like to read everyone's stories on their experience during recovery whether good or bad but yours gives me the best hope that it might not be so bad. Thanks for sharing! 
Congrats! Happy you are doing so well. It was the same for me except I had indescribable gas pain. I took the month off but luckily, going back early was welcomed. Take care :-)
Good morning. All is well here and although work is slower right now for us too,,,,,, I welcome the "breather" since we go full tilt the rest of the year.
