Almost 2 weeks out - 7/22/2011

Jul 22, 2011

Well it's bee almost 2 weeks and although I am light headed and not feeling the best (no energy and a fast heartbeat if I over do and it doesn't take much to over do it!) , I don't regret having surgery. I am still on a clear liquid diet only haveing 2 oz of Glucerna or Pure Protein shake at meal times. I am taking vitamins and calcium. I cannot wait to get to the doctor's on Tuesday so that I can move forward to soft foods. I know I will feel better with some nutrition.

I think I will ask for some blood work as well. While I was in the hospital, my Potassium level was low and someone on the board mentioned that part of how I am feeling may be due to low levels of Potassium. All of my incisions are healed with the exception of where the tube was pulled out after my second leak test.

Well that's it for now. Going to get in the shower and see how much that takes out of me! Wish me luck!
