5 days old

Jun 21, 2014

As I sit here, 5 days after my surgery, I wonder if I got lucky. I am not really in pain, just some dull aching. I haven't been nauseous . I have been able to walk almost everyday ( rain yesterday). I drink my protein shake every morning, getting tired of chocolate (never thought I'd say that). I eat my oatmeal or cream of chicken soup, or sugar free pudding the other three meals. I don't believe I have experienced dumping although the liquid stool does get a little old hopefully as I get to soft foods it will firm up.

Not to say everything is perfect. I have to figure out this whole 1 pill every 15 minutes and no pills within an hour of eating thing. I would really like to have a firm bowel movement. I want to figure out a good way to make sure I'm getting enough water. I'm tired but if I nap I can't sleep at night then  when I do sleep I oversleep and it sets the whole pill timing thing off again.

First post op appointment is Thursday so we'll see then how I'm really doing.
