Week 2 Post-op
Dec 07, 2009
The last week has actually been tougher on me than the 1st week after surgery. I have had quite a bit of nausea and reflux. I also got a URI where my throat is very swollen and I have drainage and I had to go to the PCP for that and get liquid medicine, and then yesterday I started a mammoth period.The good news is I don't have to worry about cheating cause I just don't want to eat. I haven't vomited yet, but I do have to breathe deep and walk fast to get through it.
I went to the doctor Friday for my Post-Op visit. He said it was normal and caused by stomach swelling and that it would improve as my stomach healed. I have diarrhea which is also normal - fluids in, fluids out.
I then met with the nutritionist for about 1 hour and went into information overload. I know I start Pureed food for 1 week tomorrow. I sure hope I can handle it.
Now the great news: I have lost 28 lbs so far and the nutrionist said I would lose 1/2 to 1 lb a day for approximately 3 months! (Amazing how I remembered this fact in the information overload session!)
I just have to stick this out. In the big scheme of things this is very temporary!
