One Week Post OP
Mar 10, 2009
Well I went to the DR today for my one week post op appt. My incisions all looked good, I got my drain removed, and talked about the next step for my diet, full liquids for 2 weeks. I found out that I am down 17 pounds to date! WHOO HOO! I am excited!I have had quite a bit of pain, more than I thought I would. I had to get a refill on my Lortab meds and have had to double the dose a couple times. I am thinking of taking some more time of work instead of going back to work after 2 weeks. I want to be healed. After all I cannot do housework for 4 weeks, so how am I going to walk around for 8 hours. I am glad the pain is manageable with the meds but hope to be off them soon. A drawback is you cannot drive if you are taking them all the time!!!
I also am so happy that today I was able to eat creamed soup, strained, today! I had baked potato for lunch and cream of muchroom at dinner! It tasted like heaven after being on clears for 9 days and the pre-op diet before that! Tomorrow I get to add one more new food, which I am adding my protein shakes!
I guess that is it for now! It is my youngest daughters birthday tomorrow, she will be 5 so I got to get some sleep! Busy day!
