I am long overdue for an update, so I apologize. Obviously,
I survived my surgery. It occurred, as planned, on March 23rd. I had
my 2 week post-op check-up today and found that I have lost a little more
weight. It was not as much as I had hoped, but it was a loss nonetheless. The
past couple of weeks have been HARD. No food, just liquids. I was trying to “eat”
about a ½ cup of soup a meal, but I find that I am really sick afterwards so I
have reduced it down to 1/3 of a cup per meal. I have about a week until I can
have pureed foods and I cannot WAIT. I have had a few slip-ups along the way.
Yesterday’s was the worst. I had some ham (it was Honeybaked!!!!) at my
mom-in-law’s for Easter. I snuck it little by little and it made me very sick.
Otherwise I have melted a bit of cheese in my soup a few times. I don’t think
that this is a huge deal.
The surgery itself went great. My surgeon fixed my hernia
(which she gave me photos of today for some weird nasty reason). I was taken
from recovery to ICU for care because my oxygen levels were low. I recovered
quickly and went home the day after. I quickly got off of my pain meds and was
relieved to get my On-Q pump pulled out by my mom-in-law a few days after
surgery. There will be more on all of this in a later post.
As for now I just wanted to let everyone (all two of you that read!) that I am okay and am just about fully recovered. Today I feel like this song:
