Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 HI Caryl, I had surgery 6/28 and have lost 20 lbs as of today. The water intake is getting easier to tolerate. At first you can only sip 1 oz every 15 mintues. Now I can actually take a small- normal size drink. :-) The major thing to remember post op is that even though you feel completely normal again after the pain goes away, you are still healing and your body still needs rest. OH the incision areas were super itchy like 4-5 days out from surgery. I have gone back to work and didn't work through the first day more than 4 hours. Yesterday I was good all day and didn't need a nap. Today I napped in the car for an hour. That is the hardest part, the lack of energy. It hits you all of a sudden too. Weird. I am expecting as I get into Stage III foods starting Sat I will have more energy? So far I haven't had any reaction to the foods I have eaten. Though I am only eating applesauce with cream of wheat for breakfast and cream of chicken soup for lunch, then dinner that soup again with sugar free pudding. Emotionally, I didn't have any depression. I was anxious one day and full of energy the next. That first shower I took really seemed to wake up everything in me and I felt like I could walk to the moon and back. It is like when you are sick with the flu and you take that shower when you feel better, but you don't know just how much better you feel until you are out of the shower? Does that make sense? When is your surgery? Do you know if you are having lap or open? It makes a difference in your recovery time, I hear. Ask away any questions, you aren't bugging me.
