Well it's day 6, I am down 5 lbs from surgery day but still feel very bloated so not much thinner.  I've been doing well, went out in the world with dh yesterday and it was good to be among the living but I was wiped when I got  home.  I'm struggling with getting all my protein in and all my water.  I've been sipping along but the pouch gets full and doesn't want more.  I keep at it though.  Popsicles are my friend :-)  My incisions are itchy and I'm ready to get back to my life.  Dh had to work today so I'm it, I've been up since 5:45 with my son but he goes with his community worker in about 1/2 hour so then my daughter and I can hang out and do a few errands.  (my son has autism).  My house is quite a disaster area so that'll need to be addressed at some point, I'm trying not to overdo though.  I go back to work on Wed. which should be fine.  I'm just anxious to get on with life and having more energy and feeling good so I can exercise!  

All in all I'm doing well.

Good for you, it must be so gratifying to have a whole new life.

I'm working on getting back to normal.  I am going to try to go out in the world with my hubby tomorrow, I'm not one to lay around all day, it's getting old.  I have managed 8 oz protein drink and a container of yogurt (8oz??) and have been sipping my water all day.  I havent' had pain meds since bedtime last night because they knock me out.  I just would like to fast forward a week or two so that I am not sore anymore and am moving forward and feeling good.  I'm a terrible patient!

Remember, walk walk walk, sip sip sip, nap nap nap!
