just shy of 2 weeks post op

Jul 29, 2013

Since the blog thingy has been broken, I haven't been able to post. I had my surgery on July 17 th, fairly un eventful..had to stay an extra day because I was throwing up until the morning I left..though I truly believe that it was the lemon jello (yuck). I felpt 200% better the moment I got home..I could go on and on about the poor care received at HRRH but it really was only a few specific nurses. 

My first week at home was good, little pain but very tired. Trying to make a new routine that fits in everything one needs to survive was a bit mind boggling..but I eventually got the hang of it. I suffered a bit of low blood sugars in the first few days but i quickly figured that out. I still struggle to remember to take calcium 3 times a day..on average I've been getting 2. On a plus note..I am getting 60= grams of protein in now. 

I've been feeling really REALLY good the last few days, I even went for a walk on my treadmill yesterday. Took me 20 mins to get a mile in..but I still did it and plan on doing it again today. I couldn't take one more second of the full fluid diet and have been half pureed and half full fluid for 24 hours now. So far so good, everything went down the hatch with no repeat visits. I am scheduled for Pureed stage on Wednesday..so yes its before the time scheduled..but one nurse from the clinic said it was up to me to move on or hold back..I felt ready..I moved on. 

I am starting to get bored though(and so are the kids), its been pretty rainy and cold the past week. I think tomorrow we are going to visit my friend and take all the kids to see Turbo. Maybe take in a little retail therapy..we shall see how I hold up to all the torture. 

Also down 24.8lbs since the start of opti-fast July 3 rd. Cant say I have ever lost that much in just a few weeks. So far life is good..I can't wait for all the things that come next
