People speak of wow moments after surgery. Generally it has to do with what others say or something they could not do before and now can do. Mine are not quite that magnitude but I do have a couple....
1- Immodium is a life saver right now! Between my monthly friend and my body adjusting... something had to give and I think it did!
2- I know I am only supposed to step on the scale once a week max, but right now I cannot resist- maybe I should move the scale into the linen closet. Either way... I have lost over 10 lbs since surgery! Kind of makes the other stuff worth it.
3- I have been petrified to look at my incisions... Not sure what I was expecting... but yesterday the nurse said I could take off the steri strips and band-aids. Thankfully my mom was here when I did it. I guess I was expecting to freak out... Well, my surgeon, Dr. Evanson did an AMAZING job. I had a total of 6 incisions- you can see 5 because he is so awesome he uses the belly button as one! Well one of the five is the bigger one... It might be an inch and a half long. It is a really thin line! I cannot believe how amazing it looks... and well the other four... they look pretty comparable to a bug bite! I am so pleased with it!
I am done with clear liquids... I cannot have a lot of milk products for a bit... Applesauce still goes down the best... then again I have not tried much else. Oopsie! I have to try protein drinks and supplements today! Pray for that! :-)
