1 week Post Op

So I am still moving slow and boy does the port site hurt when I move funny.  But I am feeling a lot better than last week.  I can't take the calcium as it makes me horribly nauseous!  I am going to order a different brand and takes them a little at a time during the day and hope that helps.  My incisions are looking better too.  Phew!   I have lost 16 lbs as of today, that is since Friday, Sept 16th.  I started out only being able to get down 1/2 cup of food (soup, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese or yogurt) and now I can take in 1 1/4- 1 1/2 cups.  I was taking in about 500 calories last week and am up to almost 800 calories now.  I am on a very protein rich diet (from protein powder and dairy) and they say it helps the healing too.  Anyhow, things are pretty good.  I am hanging in there and Bill is taking good care of me and the kids!  I thank God for such a wonderful husband!
