2+ weeks post-op
Aug 06, 2009
My surgery was July 20, 2009. So far the experience has been all positive! Great surgeon, great hospital. I was in the hospital less than 48 hours, very few pain or nausea meds. They took the pain pump away since I was not using it. As soon as I was in my room, I was up and walking. I started using my elliptical trainer again on July 23rd. I returned to work on July 28th, the day after my staples came out. I am amazed at how good I feel. I am off about 75% of the meds I was taking before.
I finished the two weeks of liquids and get to have soft, pureed foods for the next four weeks. Eating is a bit of a challenge, because I have no hunger or taste. Even my sense of smell has changed; food does not smell good. My nutritionist says that is normal. Says for the next 6 months it will be a challenge to eat approprately; where in the past the challenge was to not eat.
