5 Days Post-Op and Getting Better Bit by Bit

I can't believe it's already been five days since my surgery.  Overall it's really been an easier recovery than I expected.  I am quite sore in and around my incisions but the pain is getting easier to tolerate each day.  I'm on a liquid diet and tolerating protein shakes and diluted smooth soups pretty well as long as I go slow.  I came home from the hospital really swollen and actually didn't get back to my day of surgery weight until this morning because of all the IV fluids.  I can't drive yet so I am sticking close to home resting a lot, playing online and checking in with my June 30th surgery buddies on www.bariatricpal.com and watching season one of Veep, my newest favorite!
