5 Days Post Op!!!
May 26, 2012
I'm 5 days post op and I'm feeling pretty good! Today I had 1- 8 oz Unjury Chocolate flavored shake, 1 container of orange jello, 1/4 cup of tomato soup, 1/2 cup of cream of chicken soup, 1 sugar free fudge pop, 1 grape popsicle, and I'm about to eat 1/2 of a container of sugar free dark chocolate pudding, and gradually finish off my bottle of crystal light. Is that a lot of food or what? -And to make matter worse, I've tolerated every drip-drop of my food. I've read several books and done a lot of research on this surgery, Everyone says the same thing that you won't be hungry for the first 3-6 months following sugery. Honey somebody done lied. I've almost constantly hungry since my second day post op. I'm glad that I can now have soe,thing the resembles food. I had a hard time with keeping up with my fluid intake in the hospital, and the doctor kept me and extra day becasue of it. I mean how many time can you really drink watered down apple juice(yuck!), chicken and beef broth, and tea (although this was my favorite!) And I dare not eat the chewy shelf jello that they kept puting on my tray 3 time a day (double yuck!!!) I burp with everything that goes down my throat, but whatever way I can get rid of this gas that they blew my belly up with,,,I'm totally game! I keep have crazy food cravings of things I know that I'm not supposed to have. I guess my brain hasn't caught up with my new pouch. I have to admit the cream of chicken soup was like eating a chicken dinner! soemthing else strange happened today.. I was able to eat my fudge pop without my lactaid pill(I'm lactose intolerant)!!! Wow...I haven't had any pain meds since my 3 day post op, but I had to take a teaspoon of it this evening, due to some minor aches here and there in my belly. I've been getting up and moving around as much as possible. Just excited and waiting to see some results!
