post-op update

Had my surgery on wed and it went great I don't have any pain I've had Plain Tylenol in hosp to help me sleep and nothing now at home. My incision is fine my back is sore by end of day from leaning over but after a good sleep its better.( My DR. doesn't want me to put any tension on the sutures so for the first few days I need to walk bent over) real problem with the leaning over I've banged my head several times. Twice on door frames and once on the bathroom cabinet. leave it to me to have abdominal surgery and head ache is my big problem...LOL I have learned to manage better now so I hope no more head bangs. It takes all day to get things done but I'm going slow and steady. I take a nap every day and I sleep two to three hours . My body knows better then me I don't think I'm going to sleep or sleep long and next thing I know its several hours later and nature is calling. My band is not as tight as I thought it was gong to be by Friday night I could eat solid food (Just liquids before that). how ever I can only eat 1/2 cup or 4 oz at a time. so I'm having several small meals . I'm trying to keep my protein and fiber high and I'm not going to watch to much the calories.this is hard to do but I know I need to keep my nutrition up so I can heal. FYI couple folks inquired and yes I have a belly button. I had a friend stay the first two nights. she's gone home but she left instructions with my niece and my sister has been over and also left instructions with my niece so I have just been informed its time to start getting ready for bed..... so I guess I'm getting ready for bed now. thanks again for all the support and prayers Nancee
