Yay!! 1 Week Post Op

Nov 12, 2009

  Hi everyone!

Well, Tuesday (11/3), was my 1 week post op anniversary and I'M DOING GREAT!!  As you know I had to come home from the hospital on oxygen in order to help expand my lungs after having anesthesia. Anyway, Tuesday, my doctor took me off the oxygen AND told me I no longer had to take my diabetes meds or the cholesterol meds. AND, she also cut my high blood pressure meds in half. (I was hoping to get rid of those too, but I guess in will happen soon). My blood pressure has NEVER been so good and I feel good, just a little tired.  I am so happy to get off those meds I just get all choked up. And then yesterday I had my follow up appt with my surgeon and he removed my drain tube. (glad that awful thing is gone.. it really wasn't bad, but just was in my way  .  I've been doing my walking and sipping.. (hehehe). I'm on full liquids for this week and go to pureed food next week. I'm so SICK of that taste of Splenda I could scream. But I'm dealing with it. I've tried some of the creamed soups which seems to help. I'm getting pretty tired of the sweetness of the SF popsicles, SF Jello, Crystal Lite and the protein already.. so if anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know..
