9 Days Post Op

Feb 05, 2009

Went to the doctor today for my 1 wk post op f/u.  Everything looks good and I can move to the next level of foods.  I am down 15lbs from my preop date.  Surgery went well only one little bump in the road.  I had to get some blood while in the hospital.  I either bled a little internally at the anastomosis or my blood was diluted from all the fluids that were being put into me.  I wasn't outputting as much as was being inputed thus diluting my blood.  I had my surgery 1/27/09 and was discharted on 1/30/09.  Didn't feel well up until a couple days ago..now on the way up and feeling much better.  I am scheduled to go back to work 2/24/09 so we'll see how I do then.   I am still very low on energy but increasing little by little each day.  I also attended my support group today.  One of that gals said I looked fabulous and that made me feel great! :o)  Now I just need to work on getting all my protein in.  I figure that'll get easier as I can eat normal foods.
