I run/walk about 2 miles twice a day. At 8 am and 7 pm. My next appt is in 2 weeks. I went from 156 to 163... I know the numbers will drop drastically in 2 weeks.

Happy healing everyone... no regrets over here.

You look great! I hope to heal fast like you! Im also starting my smoothies with spinach, pinapples, berries and I use orange juice to get it going in the blender and it helps with the flavor a lot! Everyone is really freaking me out about the drain removal, I'm already preparing myself for that...what does it feel like? Does it burn when it comes out? sigh.....
April 4, 2013
Yes I love the smoothies.. my first drain that was removed really shocked my system. Being that I never was in pain during the process I was surprised that I was in pain. The only part that hurt was the exit location otherwise its ok. I handled the second drain removal much better lol

So I haven't been on here for a while so let me...

So I haven't been on here for a while so let me fill you in as fast as I can. My first drain was removed on 03/18/13 and my second drain was removed on 03/20/13. The removal of the drain was most pain I felt in this entire experience. I really didn't think it would've felt that way. I took my first shower on my birthday which was on 03/21/13. THAT FELT SO FREAKING GOOD!!!!

I have been eating healthy up until my birthday lol. Since then, I have been scarfing down anything edible lol. But i started on the right track today. I also started walking today also. I walked for a mile and a half. I felt so good. I am waking up tomorrow morning before church to walk again. I haven't worked out since last year september and I felt the drive all over again. The last time i weighed myself at the doctors office, I was 156lbs. Of course I most likely gained weight again but that is due to my negligence of course... I truly enjoyed my bay weekend and the week after lol.

Anyways, I am healing fine. Feeling good. I do not lift anything heavy nor do I over exert myself. When I am tired, I listen to my body and take a nap. I love those naps lol. The PS told me that as of monday, I will not have to wear my compression garment and that he will also remove the tap around my incision. I want you all to know I will continue to wear my garment for as long as I want and the moment he removed the tap... I will start my scar therapy. My incision was closed with some type of glue so I do know that my scar is healed.

Hope everyone is having a great healing and happy early easter.

Love ya!!!!!
