7 Days Post-Op

Am a week post-op and am feeling absolutely terrific!! Slept better last night than I have for the last two weeks. No soreness (just a bit of residual tightness). I do have some problems with my feet swelling tho' (am taking in enough protein, enough liquid, all my vitamins and walking). Anyone else with this problem? Any suggestions?

no suggestions, just a friendly congrats on Your surgery!! You sound great. Karin

Hi Sherry, I am 6 days post op and doing pretty good too. Some tenderness in the port sites and lots of belching, but other than that....not too bad. I don't have any swelling like you do. Maybe in the evening you can relax and put your feet up to help reduce the swellling. When do you f/u with your surgeon? Glad everything is going well with you!!!

Hi, Kim- Thanks for your reply. Have been keeping my feet up most of the day-which seems to help a bit. Will just ride it out until my appt on Friday, June 2nd. Am really glad you're doing well, too. I'm so excited to be losing about two pounds per day!!! Tho, I must admit, I would kill for an egg Cheers to the both of us...we're now Losers
