One week post op and feel so much better

This last week has been an experience.  Dealing with gas, pain, trying to make sense of what is going on with my insides, the emotional roller coaster and the tiredness has tested my inner strength.

today is the first day that I feel so much better.  I managed to be on routine and get my first grouping of protein in without feeling sick, and I don't feel like a need a nap. I will though not push myself and take it slowly.

i received some great advice about how to manage my family needs i.e. Making them dinners etc without feeling depraved.  Well today I made my daughter a ham and cheese omelette with toast and frankly I was not at all freaked.  For me this was a success.  

My next goal is to get outside and go for a walk. 

Have a great day everyone

Great to hear!!!  It just takes a little time.....sounds like you are on the right track !!!!

I'm looking forward to hearing when you've accomplished your next goal. :)
