6 Days post-op and doing great

Jan 06, 2015

6 days post op and feeling great. No more gas bubbles or pain. Starting to feel true hunger though and it makes it hard to be satisfied by broths, juice and protein shakes. Only a few more days tho till I can add cream soups and my favorite, V8 juice! Had a day where I didn't drop any weight, but then dropped almost 2lbs since. Used the tape though and the measurements don't lie, the inches are coming off! I do think i'm having a slight allergic reaction to the Medi-tape over my incisions. Have little red dots (maybe small hives) all over my front torso that mildly itch but not enough where I HAVE to scratch them. I don't have staples in my incisions so I think it's the adhesive on the tape. Only a mild irritation  and the incisions them selves look and feel fine so I can wait 1 more day till my 1 week follow up and let the surgeon or nurse look at it then. Otherwise all is well and it's full steam ahead!
