Finally home and on the way to recovery and healthier life

The surgery went very well. Just got home today I had a lot of issues with nausea they said it was side effects from the anesthesia and once they got it under control I have been sipping walking tooting away. Feel much better and glad to be home. Now just looking forward to continuing to heal and moving forward. Well off to rest some sip walk toot then repeat lol

Excellent.  I am glad you are doing ok. Heal well

So glad all is well.  Rest and listen to your body.  

Welcome to the losers bench. So happy to hear your well. 

How are you feeling now?  How was the overall experience?

I am feeling much better. The overall experience was pretty good once they got all the nausea under control. I am doing well with the water intake and protein is increasing. Today I introduced soups which is a lovely treat from all the sweet from 3 weeks of opti ewwwww. I put unflavored protein powder in my soups and am doing well with it going down. Just taking one day at a time and resting plenty as well as making several laps per day up and the the halls in my condo lol I hope my neighbors don't get suspicious on my new pacing lol

Thanks for checking in and keep me updated on your surgery it will go well.

OMG so funny.  That is my exercise plan initially too.  

Lol I am still feeling a little low energy and feel it's safer to walk my halls instead of outside and inside my condo well it's just are not big enough for much walking room and it is very important to keep walking cuz that gas build up is really very uncomfortable. I must look like some site pacing in my blue bathrobe but hey it works. Today I plan on a little walk to shoppers just for the fresh air and to get out and about again. This is quite a journey, I am just not used to being house bound so long lol I haven't been out since Tuesday other than coming home on Friday so I am looking forward to my little trip. 

When is your surgery date and how is Opti going? I have to be honest the opti was not my favorite part of this journey. Good luck.    

Well so far so good.  It takes me a long time to get them down,  but aside from a little headache, i am ok.  Not tempted by food at all.  I feel full of liquid.  I have a stupid head cold I am worried about, but I am trying to do everything I can do to get rid if it naturally.  I wanted to get in the pool today, but that probably usn't a good idea.  

I'm glad Opti is going well. Your right going into the pool with your cold isn't such a great idea lol but if your building has a hot tub that would be great.  For your head cold you should be ok taking sudafed it's great for head colds. I had fluid build up in my ear and seen my Dr on the Saturday b4 my surgery and she told me to take it for 2 days to prevent an ear infection. as for the headaches while on the opti they usually subside after the first week.

Sounds like things other than the cold is going great and your surgey date will be here b4 you know it and now is the time to plan and plan more lol omg I was so busy, I cooked up a storm so my hubby had plenty to eat and I also froze soups and chili so I don't need to worry about cooking for quite sometime. lol
