Well things are not going nearly as quickly as I would have liked. The bloating is starting to go away now and that is confirmed with losing a few pounds on the scale. So that part is good. Just left with this terrible exhaustion. Like walking for more than five minutes is difficult. I was slightly anemic after the surgery from blood loss. I was 13 before surgery and 10.6 after surgery. The doctor called that minimal blood loss. So not really tired from blood loss. Could be from the blood thinner shots. Or just from the trauma of the surgery.
One big improvement is that I now can sleep on my side. I was only able to sleep on my back while my stomach was all bloated out. This is a great deal more comfortable.
I was able to sneeze and not fear ripping open my insides. I held back dozens of sneezes this week. I think I am in the clear for sneezing now.
Walking is coming along very slowly. My husband bought a treadmill for my rehab and I have yet to even step on it. Exhausted just from walking around the living room. Will maybe try some time this weekend.
Still haven't gotten the biopsy back yet. Trying to stay positive. Hard to do.
Had my best eating day today. Ate very well and was not queasy at all. Got in lots of fruits and veggies as well as protein.
