VSG Post Op Day 7

Nov 10, 2012

The period of time post surgery requires a lot of adjustment.  Prior to surgery, I read everything that I could get my hands on.  I was not nervous before surgery, just excited.  Then I had surgery with pain, gas, problems getting my fluids and protein in and fatigue.  I am currently on a  full thick liquid diet.   I am currently trying to figure out what to eat.   I get tired of sweet protein drinks and powders.   I have been trying different soups.  I have been walking everyday.   I started at 20 minutes and I am now walking 30 minutes, but very slowly.  I think this is helping with my recovery.   I am just tired of being 'not myself'.  I still feel down.  It could be because I am taking vacation time from work and I can only sit around the house, waiting to heal.  I am not having fun.   I am not sure if I can sit through a movie at a movie theater.   Maybe next week.
