Day 4 after surgery

It has been 4 days since surgery, starting to feel like myself again.  The gas is finally started to let out!  I think that has been the worst problem with this whole procedure so far.  Don't feel really hungrey or anxious.  At times I want to but something in my mouth,so I do and spit it right out.  I then ask myself why am I going through all of this, if I am going to mess it up everytime I get an urge.  Anyways, things are good, going for my walks with my family, just got a new shake, mango and peaches YUMMMMY......... cant wait to have breakfast. 

Chastyty,

Congrats on your surgery and being 4 days out!

Just take it one day at a time and follow all the rules.  They are there for a reason.

Hope you can make it to one of the support groups.  They are incredible for keeping people on the right track and maybe you can get some tips to help with the 'picking up things and putting them into your mouth without thinking' syndrome.

Good Luck!

Thanks Kelly,

Yes, I think I am going to have to join a support group.  Are you currently attending one?

Yes, I do.

There are 3 that I attend, 2 at Roger Williams Medical Center and 1 at Rhode Island Hospital.
I plan on attending the one at Miriam Hospital next week.

I'll send you a quick note with all the information a little later this morning.  I'm heading to bed now!! ~smile~
