Things are going great! I can honestly say I expected my recovery time to be much greater than it has been. My soreness is gone (besides the occasional incision "twinge") and I can move freely. I have to refrain from lifting greater than 30 pounds for a month but I've had no problem with that so far. I still struggle with getting my water in daily but it's getting somewhat easier. I'm eating mostly creamy soups or broths and that's about all. I was having yogurt daily but it seems to cause quite a bit of gas bubbles in my tummy so I may hold off on that for a while. I need to step up my exercise now that I'm basically recovered and hopefully my weight will continue to drop! I've now lost 26 pounds and feel wonderful! My energy level has finally picked back up and I long to be out of the house doing things. Anything. Any movement is better than no movement and it makes it that much sweeter when you enjoy yourself! Friday I can transition to soft proteins such as eggs, cooked cereal, soft meats, (about anything you can mush with your fork) and I'll be in that phase for 2 weeks. I can't believe my diet restrictions are almost over! It has flown by. So... that's about it so far. I'll post after Friday to let you know how my tummy is handling "food" again! Hope you hear from less of me then!
