...in 2.5 weeks.  Took extra strength tylenol instead. Managed through the day. We went to the grocery and stocked up the cupboards and fridge.  I was so worn out from that trip. After we got the groceries put away and I had 2-3 teaspoons of tuna salad, I took a 3 hour nap.  When I went to bed later that night I was still SOOO tired but slept very restlessly.  I stay tired lately and it seems I could fall asleep at the drop of a hat.  I also stay nauseated and am thinking of calling my surgeon to see what he says.  I saw him on Tuesday and he inquired about nausea. I told him I didn't think I had that problem too much but upon further reconsideration, I am thinking the overall blah and disgusted, sick at my stomach feeling IS Nausea, but different than the nausea I have known before in a sense.  Hard to explain.  He is just so very difficult to get ahold of it almost might just be a waste as I never know if he is going to call me back or not.  I need to take a short walk today.  My husband says the more I move the faster I will feel better.  I have a hard time believing that right now as I just feel so miserable all over, but he is probably right.   I wish I could say more positive things about this surgery right now.  Mostly I just question myself about my choice to have it.  I have lots of regrets at this point.  I have lost 25 pounds in 2.5 weeks, which is rather freaky don't you think?  I have to wonder where it has gone?  I was released to pureed but am overwhelmed at how little I can get down at each "meal".  I wonder how an adult can live on 5-8 teaspoons of food in a day for the rest of their life?!!  I only hope that eventually I will be able to eat more at a sitting.  I hear the first month or two is the hardest and I pray every day that is true because occasionally I feel I might have a breakdown from feeling so bad all the time.  When I get paritally back on my feet I think I will see about going to that psych doc who sees quite a few bariatric patients.  I could use some support.  Signing off for now....Delana 

...and in uber pain.  Hating this right now.  
2 weeks out and never felt worse in my life.

Both of my JP Drain sites are infected and I am on two antibiotics for the next 2 weeks.  I ended up back in the ER and they wanted to admit me to the hospital but I just couldn't bear the thought of that.  Had a CAT Scan, lots of blood work, etc.  Came home around daylight and headed straight to bed.  This infection has really set me back and my recovery is taking longer than I had anticipated.

...and I am not quite two weeks post op yet.  
It'll be nice to see it under 50 one day.

...with infected JP Drain sites, and I still truly feel like crap.  I am on two antibiotics, in addition to the myriad of other pills I have been on since surgery.  I stay in pain most all the time, even with percocet or vicodin, and the protein shakes nauseate me for a long time.  I can't even stand the smell w/out feeling like I might throw up.  I don't know what to do or how to feel better. I think it will help some if I can get these drains out on Tuesday at my 2 week post op appointment.  My incision scar is healing nicely it seems.  I am still on the liquid diet, but out of fear I am not getting in all my protein I tried a teensy weensy little piece of well chewed up baked cod that was left over in the fridge.  I got two baby fork size bites in but even after chewing  and chewing they still felt lodged in my chest. So, no more fish, and no more rushing the doctor's diet plan if I can help it.  I just can not tolerate the protein shakes so I will need to find other liquid methods for now.  I see my surgeon in a few days and will talk to him about it then.  I have been so tired and resting as much as I can, hoping to heal soon.
