Hi everyone,
Well, I'm officially a DSer!! Had my surgery on Tuesday. Very smooth post-op course so far. Lots of rest. Breathing, walking, drinking all going well. Discharged from hospital yesterday, and now back home today. Easily fatigued, few tender lap wounds, and some general aches and pains, but otherwise feel great.
I'm surprised at how quickly my appetite has returned (today is the first day of feeling hungry).
I'm on a full-fluid diet for the next week, and then up to soft foods for 3 weeks.
Haven't had much gas and have had a few very small, oily BMs/day....no real change yet felt in this regard.
Planning on starting vitamin supps this week (I do iron infusions, so won't need those orally).
Please forward any suggestions for these early days, particularly favorite food choices. Thanks again everyone for all the support and concern.
Bests,
