I got a shower today. Yay! I changed the band aids. There is one incision that hurts most. If I move the wrong way it pinches and burns. Hoping its just from healing and not getting infected.
I slept most of the day. More than I have since my surgery. In the evening I walked around and was able to put away the boys' laundry that had been displaced from moving the room around when the bunkbeds went in. I also put away a laundry basket full of books, toys and other items that was found on the floor and behind the crib. I was very careful not to stretch or reach. But afterwards I felt really nauseated and light headed. So I probably overdid a bit.
I am wondering if I could take some vitamins. I feel like my iron could be low. I feel undernourished. Going to call my doctor on Tuesday ( tomorrow is a holiday) about it. I'm also not sure how long I need to keep the bandages over the steri strips. I'm thinking that since the incisions aren't bleeding I should air them out but I will probably look it up to be sure and will also ask my doctor about that on Tuesday as well.
So far I don't regret my decision to get the Lap Band. Even with all the pain and inconvenience of the surgery I know it will be worth it. I look in my closet and see a whole new wardrobe. I will not fit into those clothes very much longer and I get excited thinking about that.
