5 days post-op
Jun 06, 2009
Well, I'm 5 days post-op and feeling great! I went into surgery at 249 and I am now at 241, so 8 lbs. since Tuesady. I know it won't continue to drop that fast, but I'm loving it while it is!!! :) I really have bounced back very quickly, it's almost as if I'm waiting for the shoe to drop in my recovery. I only took my pain meds the first day and sometimes at night just to make sure I'm comfortable, but I don't think I really needed it. My port sight is more tender and I can't really sleep on that side too much. I'm most restricted in the morning and I'm lucky if I can get down a 1/2 a cup of milk. I have struggeled a little bit mentally with thinking I want to eat, but my body is not hungry. I made the mistake of making a meatloaf last night for my family for dinner. IT SMELLED SO GOOD cooking. I did take a small bite, chewed it up and then spit it out. I know that is the last thing we are supposed to do, but it fixed my mental thought and after I did it I felt horribly guilty. I really don't want to do anything to jeopardize my band, so that is something I won't be doing again!!! Has anyone else done that?? I can't be the only one can I??? Anyway, my energy level is where it was before, I was actually doing some laundry my second day post-op, no lifting, but bending down to pick up the clothes off the floor actually helped relieve some of the gas build up. I think I will be taking my boys, age 9 and 7, to a covered bridge today to frollic in the water while I read and catch some rays. I'm so glad I have my band and so grateful that I had such a quick and painless recoverey! I will post some new pics soon, probably in about 2 weeks to see if there is a difference. My pics I already have up are how I looked right before surgery. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the start of your summer!! Talk to ya soon:)
