OK...I suppose if I were younger, this might have been a lot easier, but as of today, I'm getting around quite a bit better. Thank God for Lortab! It tastes nasty in its liquid form, but I can live with that. The first two days were pretty brutal though.
I've lost 3.5 lbs since going into surgery Wednesday morning, so my stats look like this: 234.5/225.5/140 (that's prior weight/current weight/goal weight).
The first layer of bandaids came off last night, and the incisions are looking pretty good. Looks like the scarring will be minimal.
I can get all my maintenance pills down without crushing or cutting, which was a concern. So far, my biggest concern is remembering to "eat"! I have to have 3 protein shakes a day AND 3 liquids from a short list. I guess I'm going to have to schedule times to eat and make sure I get them all in, which will be easier when I'm not sleeping every few hours.
So far, I'm pleased! :)
