I seem to be healing up nicely. If you were to look at my belly, you'd probably think my cat attacked me rather than that I had surgery. At this point, I still feel no hunger (not complaining) and I'm eating soft stuff. Last night we went out for dinner as a family to Outback Steakhouse...I ordered fish and a glass of water...oh, and a side salad to share with my youngest. I didn't eat much, but what I did eat went down ok. I usually don't know things are "stuck" until I take a sip of my beverage...then I get this enormous pressure in my chest. It eventually goes down, but for a minute or two is very uncomfortable.
My bowels still haven't returned to normal, but luckily my original 6-7 visits to the bathroom have reduced to 1 every day or every 2 days. It's getting better.
I go back to work in 1 week, which is a week earlier than I was supposed to. I read online that many people return to work in a week, but I think I was told longer due to my occupation (CNA). Thankfully, I should still be able to avoid heavy lifting, which will remain off limits for a while longer.
I've also been having random stomachaches...they feel like gastritis. I'm hoping they pass.
Follow-up with the Dr at the end of September!
