So, I made it! Today is day number six after surgery and I am starting to feel more like myself. The first few days home were difficult, as far as pain and discomfort. However, not as difficult as when I had a c-section when Samuel was born.
I am on phase three of the eating plan (I will post the stages later), which means that I ate about a table spoon and a half of grits for breakfast. At lunch, I had a tablespoon or so of a mashed up sweet potato. After being on liquids for so long, I was surprised how enjoyable those little "treats" were.
As of today, I have lost a total of 20.8 pounds. The bulk of that was before surgery while on the liquid diet, but I am happy about the loss, nonetheless.
I am still really sore at times, especially at night, but have lowered my pain medication dosage and frequency. I see Dr. Ross on Wednesday at 1 o'clock and have my post-op class then as well. I will update you more then. It's great to be a loser! :)
