Hi To All my OH FAM....I'm Now Post Op
Sep 26, 2009
I am so very happy that I did as much research as I did prior to this surgery. Pretty much all the advice, suggestions, stories, testimonies have rung true so far. I have had 3 c-sections in the last 3 years, and each c-section have been "do-able" even including the heavy gas. With this procedure, all I can say is......I'M TIRED! I had 2 nights of required stay in the hospital, and I slept (and walked) through those 3 days, 2 nights. I mean the tv never came on, because I was sleep. I was committed to my walking every 4 hours and still do!!! The gas subsided rather quickly. I believe the walking helped. I didn't even take any anti acid. Don't get me wrong. I am not free of gas, but the highly pailful gas left me probably yesterday. I am trying very hard to get all my protein in especially since I need it to heal. I just get full really fast...and I mean really fast. This is such a weird feeling to me because I'm not used to being full & feeling weak. Now, I was used to being full & feeling lazy....LOL!!!Emory Johns Creek Hospital and Dr. William Johnson's office have been wonderful!!! They are very knowledgeable and very confident that my results will be great!!! I am too. I just would like to have more energy and be able to get in my 3rd protein shake through this first stage. What I've decided to do today is skip the protein shake and put some unflavored protein in one of two daily snacks. This way I know I am getting my protein in. Right now, I am trying to eat my cream of potato soup with unflavored unjury. Yes, it kind of takes away from the flavor of my potato,but that is okay :)
Okay! Well, I am going to take some my liquid pain med and go back to bed. I have never slept sooooo much.
I WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE TO ALL THOSE PERSONS WHO CHECKED IN ON ME. I LOVE YA'LL & I REALLY, REALLY MEAN IT. MUCHAS GRACIAS!!
