One week down and the rest of life to go!!

I'm post op one week and doing soooooo great!  I still feel a bit tired and having some difficulty finding comfy positions to sleep in but other then that ..... wonderful!! 

I'm on liquids for another week.... kinda a bummer.. but I'm gonna make it through (I have no other choice!! lol).  I currently take in (3) 8 oz shakes (which take me an hour to drink so that it's not too fast) and 64 oz of fluids (water/crystal light).  If I really feel like I want something else, I have a SF popsicle. 

I can drink very easily and have only had pain on one occasion... when I put a crystal light in my protein drink (made it VERY foam) and also 3 ice cubes.  I think it was probably just WAY too cold and too foamy.  Gas pains!! But hey, even gas pains are do-able.  Not that bad in my book (so far!).  

I went in today to get my staples out..... I feel a lot less "*****ly" now and it doesn't feel like anything is pulling or stretching my skin at wound sight.... yay!!

Now, for the great news...... I'm down 10lbs since surgery!!! Wooooo Hooooooooo  

So far, sooooooooo good!!

Ginger you are doing fabulous! OMG I hope to be as lucky as you. And 10lbs in one week? That's amazing.

One week down!  yea...that's a week behind you! :-)  I can't wait to say that in a little over a week.  I hope to be feeling good then.  Good to see you are doing so well a week post-op.  10 pounds is awesome!

Congrats! I am glad your not having any problems or complications. It is good to read that. It helps me a lot! I am due to have surgery in 20 days and I am nervous! I go in on the 2nd of Aug and they will tell me what I need to do preop and talk about surgery and post. I hope it isnt too hard. I pray it goes quick. I am nervous and the mood swing is all over the place. Did you have that before surgery? Energy all over and moods all over? Keep up the awesome work! Take care Blessings. Dawn
