5 Days Post Op

Jul 24, 2009

Good Morning Everyone,

It's been 5 days since my VSG surgery and I must say that things are progressing for me. This morning I ate some oatmeal and it was good. I am still trying to adjust my protein and water intake but I am trying very hard to get it all in one day. I honestly thought I was going to be in worse shape than this but THANK GOD I am not! However, last night was a tuff one for me with the gas build up I had to cry and rock myself to sleep for the pain to go away. For me the gas is the downside to the VSG it is the worst EVER!! I had cabin fever and decided I would go to my in-laws and sit until my hubby got off work, boy was that the wrong thing to do. The drive across down was the killer for me, I didn't drive but it was still not that good. And sitting up for at least 2 hrs did not do me any justice either, by the time I returned home I was truly beat. I think it will be a minute before I try that again! I guess I will just stick to walking around the house for now and occaionallly sit outside on the porch for awhile. All in all I am happy and I just have to continue my journey in a positive outlook. I know that things will get better! Thanks guys for being my listening ear when I need to vent... :O)
