Mar 09, 2010
Today I am 1 week post-op. For the most part I think I am doing well. I am still in a lot of pain on my right side of my abdomen, where my port is. I called the doc today and was told by his nurse that this was completely normal. Because the port is attached to the abdominal wall, any kind of movement may make it feel like something is "tugging", but it will get better.I am on the second week of liquids, and just starting today, I do feel some hunger. I was told that would happen when the swelling started going down. I have done real well with the liquids, no N/V, reflux or pain. Oh, but I can't wait to start mushies in 1 week (or maybe in 5 days
).I have lost 5.2 lbs this, which I am very happy with! I have already started going through my old uniforms that I have not been able to wear in years, in the anticipation of being able to wear them again! I will soon be able to throw my 3x uniforms away for good!!!
BTW, my daughter Kristina lost 4.8 lbs this week(no band)....Yah Kristina!!
