post op update

[Eileen]

This is my first post op update....Things have gone very well. I consider myself lucky as I haven't had much pain. In fact my only gripe right now is that I hate the taste of the protein shakes. -So much so, that I have had a tough time actually swallowing them. My next appointment is on Wednesday and I am told that I should be able to start to incorporate some soft foods like cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, and hummus.... Honestly, I never thought that I would be so excited about trying hummus. But after having vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry flavored shakes for the past couple weeks....I can't wait!
My wounds have almost healed completely. I was lucky enough not to have staples. They used dermabond (basically a super glue) It's almost worn it's way off now and I have just slight discoloration left from the bruising. 5 punctures total...It's really amazing what they can do now!
