Alright... It has been 5 days since my surgery and I am feeling great!!!
It doesn't hurt to take a deep breath anymore and I feel fine on the inside. My incisions are still a little tender but nothing to bad. I have been on nothing but liquids which include chicken and beef broth, slim fast shakes, sugar free Popsicles, sugar free jello, water (of course), propel water, and pain medicine (lol). This hasn't been as hard as it sounds but it hasn't been fun. The one good thing is that I got on the scale today and I have lost 11 pounds!!! Very exciting!!! That's 2.2 lbs. a day!!!
I have discovered some really good alternatives to the boring broths and Popsicles... I have had onion soup from a nice french restaurant near my house and some tropical ice from an ice cream shop in the area. Those were the highlights of the last couple of days... lol
Next week should be easier. I will be adding thicker soups and yogurt... which I know doesn't sound all that great but when you have had the restrictions of nothing but liquids... you would be excited also!!! lol
I hope everyone is doing great... and believe me I am very thankful for everyone that called me, texted me, emailed me, and came over and hung out with me!!! you all made it much easier to just be sitting around the house healing.
I can't wait to get back out and start having fun and enjoying my new life... because that is exactly what I gained...
