One Week Post Op!
on 8/30/17 6:10 am
Hi all
One week ago today at this time I was in OR for my gastric sleeve. First few days in hospital were very rough. Mostly abdo pain, some heart issues and gas. A few days home under my belt and I can actually say I am starting to feel "normal". No way am I ready for back to work but I can do a lap or two around my block. I am getting in my vitamins and 60g of protein. I also have jello and broth. Still in the bathroom constantly.
I am self sufficent now with the exception of lifting and bending right down to floor level, hurts, so I don't do it. Kitties get fed when dad or one of the kids feeds them.
I don't feel hungry. I really wish I could drink alot more. Im use to getting 3-4 ltrs of water a day.
That is about it for week 1 report
Eyes on the prize!
All the best to everyone having surgery this week!!
Congratulations. It sounds like you're really coming along in your recovery now. That's great! Wishing you continued good health. :)
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.
