So today is what, day 5 post op? And I'm feeling great! No more gas pain, just a TEENY bit of belly pain, and yeah. Thats about it! I'm walking about a mile a day now (broken up into parts) without pain. I'm still on liquid diet, which consists of strained soups, most liquids, SF jello and popsicles, and protein shakes. I only intake a few ounces in a sitting, but in a day I am getting over 60 grams of protein, which is my goal. I will be on this diet until about next Wednesday, when I can start pureed foods. I am really looking forward to that!
Lets talk scars. I have 5, and I am very, very pleased with their location and size. The biggest is located inside my belly button. The rest are barely a couple centimeters in length. The only one that causes me any issue is one that is located just south of where my bra sits so I have been unable to wear a bra since surgery. (Wheee!) Today, I was able to tolerate a sports bra so I could go walk around the mall (rainy day). All the incisions are covered with some kind of "glue" that is supposed to hold for about 2 weeks. I am showering backwards to preserve that glue stuff as long as I can to help the healing process.
Lets see what else... oh I have a big shout out for the Rex Surgery Center of Cary team, but I will save that for another post. Hope everyone is well :)
