1 Week Post-Op Update!

I am down 12 pounds since i came home on Monday... I am off all 3 of my blood pressure meds already and even two other meds for other stuff. Of course I am on a couple others for the next few weeks (pepcid & coumadin), but those will be gone soon enough.... I am feeling pretty good... no hunger yet, it was great to have some yogurt this morning. I am getting in all my protien and close to all my fluids... it is tough, but I am doing it.... sipping sipping sippping.... It doesn't even bother me when my family eats their food, it actually does not appeal to me at all. Overall, I am doing wonderful... even went grocery shopping for the family the other day (with my hubby of course). Have not been on any pain meds since around midnight Sunday night. So I would say that is good.... Well, that is it... Hope everyone had a wonderful Thankgsgiving........ Shawn M.

Sounds like you are doing awesome, Shawn! Keep the head hunger at bay, drink, drink, drink, and walk, walk, walk. Jon

I am actually doing very good. I was able to do a little light cleaning, made breakfast, lunch and dinner for my kids (hubby is off hunting) and I am getting in all my protien and all my fluids. I feel great, I just can't wait until the staples come out on Thursday. Thanks for asking how I was doing. Shawn M.
