one week post op
I was feeling much better today. Only using meds at night to sleep. I decided to go out for a walk since my doc was really harping on me to walk. I walked to my mailbox (about a block and a half each way). I was proud of my achievement (I found it extremely difficult before surgery) but about 5 minutes after I came in my side started hurting me, burning inside. Idk if I did something wrong or something tore, or if its normal. I see the doc tomorrow so hopefully will find out then. Unfortunately, they did not cut out my cravings when they did the surgery cuz I am really craving chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy and birthday cake. I have been looking up recipes for liquid diets so I can add some variety but haven't had a whole lot of luck. did find a few things though. Found some "ify" things I want to run by the doc tomorrow and see if it's ok. I did lose 4 of the 10 lbs fluid weight I put on during surgery. It's kind of discouraging though, I really didn't count on weight gain. Ithought I would see at least a small loss right away. I know it will come though, just need to be patient.
