6 days postop
I feel GREAT!!
I've been able to take in >60gm of protein for the last couple of days. Also taking in great amounts of fluids.
Pain has been much improved. Pills are going down pretty well (I cut them up into very small pieces)
Staples out tomorrow am, dressings have been clean dry and intact.
Interested to see if I lost the hydration weight I gained in the hospital.

Great appt today!!
Staples came out, only 1 caused any discomfort. Steri strips on and will dry up and fall off. Incisions look great, no drainage.
Lost all the hydration weight....plus 6lbs!!
I have my dietician appt on the 27th but the surgeon says I can advance to next diet phase next week!! I am SO looking forward to some Chobani!!
