6 Days Post-Op

Hi All My August Surgery Buds.... Just checking in to say hello. I'm 6 days post op today & feeling pretty good. I was lucky to escape the surgery without the gas pain. I did, however, have some stomach pain, but it's much much better. Liquids are going good. Working on getting in my protein. Friday I started on some sf pudding & yogurt, and yesterday, I had cottage cheese & then some chicken salad for dinner. Everything is going great. I am getting in almost 2 medicine cups at each meal before I get real full. I have been getting this weird feeling in my right leg & right arm. Not quite sure what that is. I'll call the doc. tomorrow just to run it by them. I want to thank everyone for their good wishes & prayers and I would like to extent my good wishes and prayers to all my August friends....both pre-op & post-op. Oh, just an unofficial note.... as of yesterday I have lost 8 1/2 lbs. I'll take that for 5 days post op. God Bless Everyone Tammy

Tammy, I'm glad you've checked in, sounds like things are going well. I don't get "food" until Thursday, just liquids until then, but I'm down 14 pounds plus the extra six they gave me in the hospital in "water" weight. Yesterday morning we walked 4 miles, and I'm heading out very soon for a walk today. Here's hoisting my water bottle to you

WOW!!!!!!!!!! 4 miles yesterday????? I have walked around the house but haven't felt ready to venture out... Of course I was in surgery for a little under 9 hours.. So I had alot of anethestics to shake off... GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that you came thru w/ no complications and that you are now down 8 1/2 lbs. Way to go...... Keep up the positive outlook and keep posting.

Had my surgery August 16... Thanks for thinking of all the rest of us.. Glad you didn't have too many issues.. Although gas can be a pain the butt ( no pun intended)... I am feeling better and better each day... I am glad to have done this life changing surgery... Now on to better things.. A WHOLE NEW JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!
