Well I am not up running marathons yet...OK that wont be for a while. I have my good hours and bad ones. Thankfully I have a medication induced "coma" every 4 hours. I try and stay up a few hours in between. Sometimes it works other times my body demands to go back into my nice warm blankets.
I guess I should consider myself lucky. I don't have all the bloating and gas pains others have complained about. Though I do have a horrible headache today. Which may be due to not drinking enough water.
Just thought I would be more mobile by now. Getting around OK, just not a lot of energy. Without a doubt I am catching up on sleep. But I just hope I am up to going back to work on Monday.
Hard to believe my surgery was only a few days ago. I am not hungry..at all. Have to force myself to eat, with my big meal being a 1/4 of Cream of Wheat mixed with yogurt. Woohoo. Takes about a half hour for me to eat it. And the protein shake? Well it takes a good hour or two to get that down. But I reach my quota for protein a day by drinking it.
It could be a lot worse I know. I feel like a baby complaining about the pain since others have gone through so much more. I had a friend ask me why I went through with the surgery. Really? I just couldn't say anything more then it was the right choice for me now.
I just want to be more mobile so I can focus on getting into shape and not focus on the pain or discomfort I am in.
On a positive note I am down 6 pounds from surgery so I am almost to my pre-surgery weight. I know most if not all of it was due to swelling from surgery and all the fluids from the IVs. But it was still heart wrenching to go from losing 16 pounds to gaining 11 pounds in less than 24 hrs.
Still no regrets on the decision to have surgery.
