3 days post op

I am now out 3 days, almost 4, from surgery. I am doing wonderful. I came home from the hospital yesterday and am so glad I did. My kiddos are so excited to have me home and I think they are more at ease too.Today was my first day keeping up on my liquids and protein. I got just enough liquid it ... about 48 ozs ... I wish I got more in, but it is so hard. I did very good on my protein, I got in 33g. I have to take tons of vitamins and Rx's, so I had to buy a big pill dispenser to sort them. I take 2 Bariatric Advantages, 3 Calcium Citrate, 1 iron, 1prilosec, 1 B12, 1 potassium, 1 magnesium, and a stool softener 2 times a day. Seems like a lot to me, but its what that Doctor ordered :)
My energy is still good, I didn't take a nap today with the baby, so I am pretty tired. I need to slow down before I wear myself out, but its so hard with the kiddos. Other than that, I am good ... pain is very minimal and I am so thankful that everything has gone right between me and my pouch. I have to learn not to GULP ... I have only done that a few times and got an airbubble and it was a bit uncomfortable for a minute or two, but nothing bad. I am glad my journey started out so great, I hope the days to come are as wonderful as the past week!
