First Day Back to work 6 Days Post Op
Today is 6 days post op. I'm at 234.5 which is about 3-4lbs more that I weight at the hospital the morning of surgery. On that scale I was 230.7. I'm pretty sure my stomach is still swollen and I'm a little bit dehydrated. So I'm sure I'll lose those few lbs again. I have been able to eat a little bit which is nice. Just as long as I chew thoroughly and take tiny bits I seems to tolerate things pretty good. I still have huge bruises on the insides of my arms where the nurse blew out 2 of my veins trying to get the IV in. A male nurse finally got it in my hand. My stomach is bruised pretty bad and I'm still tired but that's about it. Today is my first day back at work. Thank God its only a 3 day work week because of Thanksgiving! We took Serenity to see Disney on Ice on Saturday. That wore me out! The anesthesia is still making me tired. Both girls spent the night with Lisa while I was recovering. That was 4 nights. We got Scarlett back two nights ago, luckily she seems to be sleeping pretty good. She woke up only once last night and I just cuddled her a little bit and she went back to sleep. I put her to sleep on her stomach and she stayed asleep the rest of the night. She sleeps better on her stomach. I ate a "Original Scrambler" this morning (well half of it) for breakfast. I haven't been to Krystals in so long that I didn't even KNOW they have a "Low Carb" Scrambler! I think I know what I'll be eating in the morning times now! Yummy! And It was only $2 and something... I ordered a chili from Wendys the other night and could only eat half of a small one. I'm still full from eating that half of a scrambler this morning. Head hunger is the worst. I just think "I haven't ate in a little while, my body wants food". But thats the thing! It WANTS food...it doesn't NEED food. I think that battle with Head Hunger is going to be a long one! Well I have a lot of work to get caught up on since being out. I'll update again tomorrow!
