1 week post op

May 16, 2011

Tomorrow I will be 1 week post op.  The surgery went really well.  Except for the terrible gas pains and a pain on my left side.  Nothing that I can't  handle.  The sugar was at 11 am, I went into recovery at 1:30 and by 4:00 I was in a room.  You want to know the best part?  I was up walking at 5:30 and walked about 7 times that night.  I was soooo proud of myself and my hubby was really proud of me.

I have been able to tolerate everything.  Have not had any nausea or anything weird.  Outside from the annoying gas that I have which is normal the biggest challenge has been trying to make the 64 oz liquid minimum.  I never thought it would be so hard to drink tat much liquids....but it is.   I am taking 1 day at a time and am walking everyday.  I haven't felt week and best of all.....I AM OFF MY DIABETIC MEDICATION!!!    Just that alone makes it all worth it. 

I went to the doctor today and I have lost a total of 28 lbs since my liquid diet. and a total of 14 lbs my  first post-op week.  I am speechless.  I actually had to look at the scale twice.  I mean I haven't been this weight in years.  I am energized and feel great.  Most of all I feel sooooo supported by everyone around me. My husband has been wonderful.   I am truly blessed.
