Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hi All, Just checking in and reading the comments and messages. Post op 2 weeks and 1 day-- down 21 lbs. feeling great considering I had major surgery. Friends have been coming over frequently and walking with me. Today the Quartet I sing with will be coming for our first practice since surgery. I have been working out my voice this morning and hope I can carry my weight--oops not weight any longer, my part--ha ha without much trouble. Had my whole house cleaned yesterday--yeah--sitting here and looking at the place made me want to get it up and clean it so thought better and hired it out this time. A crew of 6 came and cleaned top to bottom--got a real good deal only $275.00. I am still eating a soft diet--doing well with it and adding things almost daily--no dairy yet just yogurt. Eggs are delicious and tuna, talapia, mashed potatoes, and tofu all settle real well. Got all of my vitamins, water, protein, and calcium yesterday for the first time-- had to spread it out over the day but was finally successful. Hope all those who had surgery the same day as I did are doing as well. If you are getting ready for surgery--remember walking is really the key to recovery-- walk, walk, walk and remember when it hurts to walk right after surgery--that is normal- -surgery hurts, but getting sicker instead of better hurts more and walking will help with pain control, breathing, eating, general overall emotions. I will be adding an album as soon as I figure it out. Bye for now. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
