7 Days POST-OP

Jun 01, 2010

I had my surgery just 7 days ago today.  The night after surgery was pretty rough and continued to have pain into the next day.  But everyone in the Hospital was Great and did everything they could to make me comfortable.  The incisional pain was not bad.  The first couple of days was both internal as well as the CO2 gas that my body is trying to expell.  Eating is so difficult.  I never thought I would hear myself say that eating is a chore.  I find that in order to get the protein in, I am eating 6 times a day.  So far, everything I have tried goes down fine.  I have not had any problems other than eating too much a couple of times and cause me to be in pain for 1-2 hours after.

I have been off pain medication for 2 days now.  I am up to walking 3 times a day, 20 minutes each.  The walking makes me feel really good.

I am looking forward to my 1st foloow-up appt.(2 Weeks) Monday June 7, 2010.  I can't wait to see how much weight I have lost since my Pre-op Appointment.  I will make another update after my Appt. with my surgeon on June 7, 2010.
