Post-Op Day 4
Feb 08, 2013
Here we are, 4 days post-op. My hubby and I made it home from the hotel in a pretty decent snow storm but there was no keeping us away for another day! It is the most amazing feeling to see my kids and pups after 5 sleeps and get their incredible hugs and kisses! The ride home was a little rough. During the first half of the trip I was pretty nauseous so we stopped and took a break and went for a bit of a shopping trip. The second half was much snowier but the nausea had passed and I felt much better. After all of the excitement of the trip and the homecoming, getting settled and figuring out lunch the family took a much needed break and watched a movie together this afternoon. I'm working on dinner (a whopping 1/4 cup of Cream of Chicken soup, 1/4 cup of vanilla yogurt (both with added protein powder), some liquid tylenol and my final multivitamin for the day). I can hardly believe that one day you eat so much and the next you are at about 1/2 cup per meal........ Trying to get the vitamins, food, water and protein shakes in is proving to be a bigger challenge than anticipated. I just keep working away and hope for the best! If I am successful at getting everything in today I will be at a whole 375 calories for today! That will be my best post-op day yet!
The good news........ I have lost 33 lbs to date including 5 lbs in the 4 days since surgery!!!
