7 Day Post Op Update

Well OH family, I'm doing okay.  I finally got this gas out of me a couple of days ago.  One thing I noticed, I still go to the bathroom about two to three times a day, just not as much.  I am still on a liquid diet and will be until my 2 week post op appointment next Thursday.  I am almost never hungry.  I have started tracking my intake through fitday.com as suggested by hercules411.  I am only putting down about two protein drinks a day so far.  Today I'll make three protein drinks.  I started shakes on Sunday after I finally started having a real bowel movement.  TMI I know.

I walk around the neighborhood every other day, as far as I can go and adding new routes and distance.  One thing though, I am going to need some walking shoes.  My feet were barking a little while ago.  No real problems, other than tolerating drinks that aren't blended well enough.  GNC Soy Protein and Lipton Diet Ice Tea mix don't blend well at all.  It makes me have to spit up the grains.

How much weight have I lost?  Don't know.  Don't have a scale.  Will have to get one.

Sleeping okay, but I can't sleep with that damn CPAP machine.

The only real pain I have is above my belly button, where the hernia was repaired.  The other incisions itch all the time.  Can't wait until next week, hopefully they will have healed enough to where I can get them wet.

Talk to you later, Go Cowboys

 Congrats on having your surgery. Yes if you are planning on walking get some good walking/running shoes you need to be comfortable. Plus it will make a huge difference in how far you walk as well.

Glad to know that you are doing well. Make an investment and purchase very good walking shoes and a scale.  It's good you are already walking...keep it up!

The wl will definetly happen so not having a scale yet is no big deal.  You're off to a great start exercising daily.
