Four Days Home

May 03, 2013

I don't know what I"d do without this website!  I've been home for four days now.  I was so excited when I came home on Thursday.  I figured I hadn't eaten in DAYS so I MUST have lost weight.  So I hop on the scale and watch the numbers zoom past what I weighed on surgery day.  WTH?!?!?!  I was devastated!  I couldn't believe the scale.  But because of this website, I've been reassured that this is kind of normal because of the fluids and whatnot that they were pumping into me while I was in the hopsital.

(I actually started this post when I was 2 days home, but I've been so busy, that I didn't get a chance to finish it).

Anyway, it's Sunday morning and I've lost those pounds and I'm feeling pretty good.  The water has been a struggle, but I'm getting it in each day.  I think that I'm going to have to buy some bottles or something to remind me of how much I need to drink and all that fun stuff.  I haven't had to take any pain pills in a few days, not even a Tylenol.  I started my multivitamin (Centrum Grape is the BOMB!) and Tums.  I have to take Pepcid everyday for 3 months. Plus it's allergy season.  I'm not used to taking so many pills, but it's all for the greater good.  I've done some walking and it felt pretty good.  Sitting for a while makes my incisions hurt so that is even more incentive to get up and walk.

That's it for now.  I"ll keep updating my progress as we move along.
