post op day 4

arrived home yesterday feeling very tired, I had a 3 hr drive to get home, the heat and motion of the car wore me out. I showered for the first time post-op and it felt sooooo good. I also started to pass gas yesterday which means I can advance my diet to full liquids. I sent my dear hubby out to get somr skim-plus milk which I will use for my milk-shake-protien drinks as well as my cream of wheat. I feel blessed that I have done so well!!! I am a nurse and new what I must do post-op to stay healthy, so I got myself out of bed and walked a lot and did my breathing exercises without fail. I am drinking in small sips and so far no problems. I would like to hear from other postops and how well they are doing for this is still a long haul and a problem one might have someone else may have the answer. Bye for now Darlene

Congrats!!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery and enjoy the loosing side! I just hope my surgery goes as well as yours. I will keep you in my prayers.

Dear Melissa, Each day I am getting stronger and feeling more normal, I don't even need pain med as yet today! I am following my diet to the t. I do feel blest to have made it to the losing side so well. Please keep in touch as your day approaches, it becomes an emotional rollercoaster. I HAVE A HUSBAND of 25 yrs and 4 children, I felt at one point very selfish that all the focus was on me, now they will see it was also for them to have a healthier mom and wife. thanks for listening Darlene
