Several of you have asked for an update on my surgery and how I was feeling so here goes: I am doing FANTASTIC! Two close friends told me the Lord told them that I would do great and have a extra fast recovery. Well I have! Amen!! I am 12 days out from surgery and feel like I never had surgery pretty much. The last pain medication I took was before I left the hospital on day 2. Never so much as took a Tylenol since. I had a LOT of energy which is opposite of how I usually feel. Incisions healed super fast too. Been able to sleep on my sides since the night of surgery which most people cant do. My diet has advanced super fast. Its really all crazy! I saw my Surgeon & Nutritionist for a follow up last Friday (day 9). They were blown away at how well I had healed and was progressing. My surgeon told me that my reaction to surgery(the fast healing and energy) is a rare occurrence and that I am one of the lucky ones because most people battle soreness and fatigue for quite awhile. What can I say but God IS GOOD! I have not had any real hunger, but do battle head hunger. I am eating soft foods like refried beans, cottage cheese, soft cooked veggies, shrimp and salmon so far and have not had any problems. I am getting all my protein in (60-90 grams a day) and fluids in 65 oz minimum. I am going to do my best to follow a Paleo way of eating. Had a nice chat with my sister Linda Swafford-Lucas this weekend and looked at some yummy recipes to cook for meals. High protein/low carbs seems to be the key. I have lost 13 pounds and if not already I will soon be going in to ketosis. Burn that fat baby!!! LOL!
