Thank you. I wish there was more information on recovery but, everyone is so different.
The last 2 days have been better. I really have to eat small portions to not feel so full. I also have to drink more. The blood is not as bad and seem to have more normal looking BM's but soft. I am still on low fiber diet. I also started using my infrared sauna / light walking more and it seems to help with relaxing and mental well-being.
It is weird not to have hungry. I started back taking multi vitamins, 2 chewable 500 mg C's and B12, B6 and folic acid for energy. And I have been able to eat my yogurt now without bloating! I consider it one of my meals with a banana (I put a zinc capsule and a probiotic in it too) I added small applesauce as another small snack.
I make sure and have an egg and my husband's homemade white bread and a pce pf bacon for breakfast. Lunch is usually grilled chicken breast with noodle pasta.
The last 2 days I was also able to do some house chores and felt good about that and no naps!
I did not have surgery at the Mayo clinic. I did have one of the best Dr's in my area.
I think the other issues were hopefully just a fluke. Which I will get checked on Monday.
Today I have my normal dentist cleaning appt. and hoping to feel comfortable enough to go after to get some flowers to plant. Being outside and working in the yard is my "drug"
Speaking of drugs. I think I may have had 3 Tylenol this week which is great!
