Two weeks down....
on March 11, 2010 11:49 am
So today I am 2 weeks post-op and I am now beginning to have some issues. Two days ago I started getting really nauseated in the afternoon. I had worked out that morning and had felt great until about 3 hours later. Then I felt really queasy. I couldn't get anything down. Yesterday morning I woke up a little queasy, but couldn't even think about having a protein shake because that would make my stomach upset and go into gagging and dry heaves. I took some phenergan, slept, and felt better. I went to the gym, but took it easy. A couple hours later I was really sick to my stomach. I called the doctor's office and they recommended having some milk of magnesia or Dulcolax since I haven't been having very good bowel movements. I could only get half a dose in and boy am I glad. I have been having watery bm's about every 2 hours since. But I continued to experience dry heaves. This morning I didn't feel sick, but unusually sore at one of my incisions. I have been off pain pills for several days now, but I actually had to give in and take one around noon. So today I have been taking it easy on myself with the protein and just focusing on getting my fluids in. It isn't up to where I was, but better. Now, at 2pm I started getting sick to my stomach again. So much so that I am dry heaving. I am really disappointed, but I don't know why. I was doing great with no problems, now all of a sudden I am sick as a dog. This is stressing me out because I have to go back to work on Monday. I was totally ready this past Monday and would have gone in if I had a statement from my doctor. Now I am scared to go and then be heaving all the time. I go to the doctor tomorrow for 2 week follow up and support group meeting. Hopefully they will have some suggestions. I am stressing out about not getting my protein in, but I can't even stomach the thought of protein shakes or powders. I am gagging at the smell of brownies cooking in the kitchen for my son's school's auction. 

I'm not posting my weight until I come back from the doctor tomorrow because I think my scale has gone psycho. It is telling me that I have lost like 20 pounds in a week, which is just insane and I refuse to believe it. It told my husband he lost 5. I weighed at the gym and it says I only lost 1 pound. I don't want to believe that either. So I will post the doctor's office weigh-in tomorrow.
