It's amazing how things are going, recovery wise. I am sure it has to do with already having the sleeve so I'm recovering from less than normal trauma from surgery. I am almost off pain meds, I am on full liquids. I am giving myself Lovenox shots every day, and no they aren't as bad as I thought they would be. My energy levels are good (I'm sure the iron infusion in the hospital has something to do with that). The more I move (in moderation) the better I feel. I am losing weight and looking soooooo forward to that part of the journey.
I am supposed to be on liquids three. more. weeks. Then I get to progress to pureed food. I'm not going to lie, I'm hungry. I want food. My sleeve is the same as it was before this surgery. I am drinking all day, getting protein in, but my sleeve wants food. Last week it wasn't a big deal but now that I am up and moving, it's getting harder to be satisfied with just liquids. I would gladly take pureed food, at this point. So... we'll see how that goes. I ate some greek yogurt today and it was like the best thing I had ever put in my mouth. LOL. And no, yogurt is not a liquid, but it got me through the rest of the day.
I found out today that even with decaf, Starbucks can clean a girl out. Yep. That means I also had my first public poop. Target may never be the same. But at least I didn't poop my pants.
So many things I was worried about and so far it's like, not a big deal. Of course I am only one week out. I am anxious to get past this healing point and trying food and seeing what agrees with me and what doesn't. And just to get past this and on with my life.
I'm excited!
