Hey there, ]

So I can't remember if I already posted, (no computer at home) But I am 6 days out band removal, lots of scar tissue, Sleeved, and Huge Hernia repair;.

Stayed one night in hospital, and till the next evening. My Dr. told my husband it was a mess in there.

But only had to take the pain medicine for 2 days after coming home. Now just taking Tylenol.

Still a bit of swelling, and gassy, but for the most part, feeling pretty darn good.

I think once I get all this gas out, and the swelling goes down, I will be good to go.

Working only 1/2 day today and see how I feel.

I was pretty worn out yesterday, after going out and running errands with the hubby, so stayed quite yesterday. Then I noticed, I was not getting any protein in at all. So had a very small amout of shake/milk. Not suppose to start the shakes till tomorrow, but I am having one all day today. Small sips.

 

I will weigh in tomorrow when its been 1 week.

So far So good.
