2 Weeks Post-op

Feb 22, 2011

Well, 2 weeks ago today was my surgery. My surgery was @ 11:45 and I got into recovery about 3 P.M.
Well unfortunately all the rooms were booked up at the hospital so I stayed in recovery till 8 p.m.
The first night I had to share a room with an elderly lady who had diarrhea and needed to use the bed pan every 30 minutes. Thank god my sense of smell was dulled! The next two nights I was in a private room(thank god), oh yeah, they keep me an extra night because of bad nausea. On the day I left the hospital, the surgeon decided to leave On-cue Pain Pump on me and refill it back up since I was in so much pain once it ran dry the day before. The first 8-10 days I must admit were pretty hard, things have gotten better, I haven't taken any Vicodin since Sunday(2 days ago). I started my soft food diet today and it had been wonderful. I am soooooo sick of the liquid diet.
Last thursday I went to my doctor's appt. and 9 days post-op I lost 17 lbs! (wow)!! I just got a new battery for my scale and weighed myself earlier and I'm down 20 lbs now since surgery!!
