an aprich person

hi! Had an open rny 3/30/04. So consider myself a lucky combo of march/april. Also, 5 days postop, am considering myself more HUMAN. More INDEPENDENT....by golly, I can even get all my clothes on without help. THe only thing I need help with are those lovely ted stockings. Am changing my own dressing. Plodding up and down the stairs several times a day. in the propped up with pillows for a few hours at a time, then up to PLOD some more. TRYING to ignore everything my clumsy fingers seem to drop on the floor...haven't quite figured out how to bend over that far. And diet? No nausea at all. But my brain doesn't have the strength to figure out the diet yet. WHY does it seem so confusing to me? I'm on full ligs plus putting in the protein. Putting it in WHAT? I just stir it in skim milk. The blender causes bubbles...which are nice for a but not good for a sweet little newbie pouch.

Congratulations!!! You're doing great! thanks for letting us know how you're doing-- I'm very nervous about the recovery!
