Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 well it has been a long 12 days! so much has happened! my surgery was 4/22 and done lap, i came home on sat 24th it hasnt been that bad lol made it though the clear liquid stage and now am on pureed foods. i am having a hard time with the protien powders and just cant stomach them they make me heave!!! so the nutritionist said to start adding powdered milk to everything so have to go to the store today and get some. i bought the natural figuring it would go in anything but just cant get past it! grrr spent a bunch on it too oh well will still try and get in in someplace maybe just need a break from it. so far according to my scale i have lost 21 pounds. dont know it this is normal or what just so happy to see the scale move! last night i was able to sleep in my bed for the first time since i been home and what a big difference it made in sleeping, i used to love my recliner but i am sad to say it hurts my butt lol!!! i am walking some each day and plan to start back the YMCA tomorrow and use the treadmill and work back up to the other stuff, in a couple of weeks i should be able to go back to water arobics i have an infection in one of my holes that hasnt cleared up yet. i am using peroxide and trip antibiotic med on it 3 times a day. i go to see my family dr on friday for a check up and will have her check it then and i have 3 stitches to be taken out. all in all so far has been a great road with few bumps along the way!!!
