3 weeks post-op

Apr 17, 2009

It has been 3 weeks since my surgery but it feels like it was just yesterday.  I am still horribly exhausted all of the time and I know I am not getting in near enough protein.  I've been having this muscle pain in my side near the site of my largest incision, my husband had the same thing and they told him there wasn't much they could do for him it was just from where they cut through alot of muscle.  Anyway, I am able to eat slightly more but no where near the amount I should be eating.  The good news is that meat doesn't seem to bother me at all.  I just don't like the taste of it anymore but I don't throw up from it or anything.  Each morning I look forward to waking up feeling refreshed and good but everyday I feel like I can barely get out of bed and I wonder how I will ever make it through the day.  I am down 21 pounds since the day of my surgery and it seems like that would make it easier to move but I don't notice a difference at all.  I can't wait until the day when I am glad that I had this surgery and that I feel like I have enough energy to do just my normal daily activities.
