What else can I tell you? The night after my surgery, I, you know, made sure I was taking my pain medications as recommended every four hours because I didn’t want to become in excruciating pain and I only ended up waking up once that night and I was in quite a bit of pain, almost a little bit to the point where I was nauseous.
So I made sure I took the graball and the pain meds together and was able to get it pretty compressed on there. Saturday, or the following day, I just, you know, took it easy. I didn’t want to push myself too hard. They really recommend just taking your time. You know, don’t try to push ahead, so I just followed their recommendations, and like I said, I feel really well.
The incision sites are secret to be healing up really well. The left side is still the most tender one and I was told that it would be so not a big surprise. is there. Other than that I just have a little bit of, like, you know, tenderness and tightness I would say in the upper abdominal area. So if I hiccup it’s kind of a little bit of an owie [sp?] but nothing that, like I said, makes me cry or anything like that.
So, other than that finish my fifth day of the clear liquids, and I felt really good about it. I stuck to it, you know, with water, teas, juice and the broths. And, you know, until today I really didn’t have a feeling of hunger, just the habit, and the habit by what I mean is, you know, lunch time means it’s time to eat, or in the morning I think I should be eating.
But, you know, I found that I would just have my fluids and I was happy with that. So other than that, I would say that things are going really well for me. I had weighed myself this morning and I was down approximately 10 pounds, 10 pounds and five eighths. And that’s crazy, but of course, when you’re just drinking clear fluids that is to be expected.
Tomorrow I’m starting with my full fluids for the week and I’m not anticipating any problems there. Either I’m going to, you know, try the V8 juices, you know, make up some smoothies and just take it day by day. And that’s all I can do. So I am here to answer any questions that you might have about the procedure or Slimband.
Anything I can answer. Shout out to another YouTube bandster band, I just noticed that you had a shout to me prior to my surgery and that’s so sweet of you. So thank you. And, like I said, message me or call into my video and I’ll try to answer anything that I possibly can. Until, I’m going to try to do this once a week so until next week, take care and we’ll see you then.
Thanks.
