This first week has been fairly good. Had surgery Wednesday, home Thursday, back to work Friday- which may have been crazy but... I'm a Realtor so I don't make money if I don't work. Fortunately, I love my job. Anyway, getting protein and fluids in the 1st couple of days was challenging, but not a problem any longer. Gas is significantly better and bloating has subsided - especially now that I added a stool softener to the mix. Walked 2 miles yesterday which felt pretty good. I keep hearing everyone feeling more energy after surgery. Not quite for me. Mid day I need a nap! Talk to my nut and she has suggested I up my protein from 60g to 80-90g. Hoping that gets me going through the day. I am guessing if I were sleeping better at night that would help too. I can't seem to sleep through the night. Wake up every couple of hours either from pain (incision sites) or having to pee. LOL. Getting lots of fluids in.
Happy Thanksgiving! I am looking forward to family time. I am a little worried about being surrounded with all that food but I am going to focus on playing with my grandbabies! And drink my shakes...
