Already seeing some progress! Top row was taken on post-op day 6. Already down 15 pounds on that day since the start of my pre-op liquid diet.
This week was fairly uneventful in regards to my recovery. My pain has greatly improved, although today on day 10 post-op (April 3rd, Saturday) is the first day that I barely notice it. Even 2 days ago, the pain would catch me off guard sometimes.
My biggest issue the last couple of days is that I am SO SICK of protein shakes and yogurt! I can have soup, but I am supposed to add protein powder to it. I have not found one that tastes very good yet. In about a week, I will advance to the “pureed” stage, which will open up many more options for me! Unrelated to my surgery, on a positive note this week, I got my braces off after nearly 3 years!! Things are looking up 🙂
