Surgery
So I had surgery on Monday the 5th of May. It went well but I guess I took a bit longer than normal in recovery. I felt great and got up and walked right after. Then I fell asleep. The next day, I walked and walked but I was starting to feel sick to my stomach. They were wanting me to pureed chicken and beef and pork. I tried some, but wasn't really feeling like eating. The next day (Wed) I was even more naseus and I was supposed to go home that night. I started throwing up and they kept me until Thursday at 2pm. They finally got my vomiting under control and I wasn't as queezy. Thursday night was ok. The pain meds made my stomach upset so I was just doing tylenol. By friday I was miserable. I was so sick to my stomach and in pain and uncomfortable because of the miserable gas. I was wondering wth I did to myself. Saturday seems to be going much better and I will be going on a walk soon. I've lost almost 10 pounds since Monday. Crazy. 2 Comment(s)

Congrats on your surgery!!! I was shocked to hear what they were having you eat, the entire time I was in the hospital I was on a clear liquid diet up until discharge. Then before I left I was brought in mashed potatos. Even though in the beginning you may not feel so great just think how you will feel in a couple of wks. and how great you will look. Keep us posted on your journey.

Oh, wow, food not liquids. I am so sorry you had problems with the surgery follow up.
I know the gas bothered me. I also had to stay an extra day as my stomach could not tolerate the protein drink. It was also rebelling against milk based products such as the cream of mushroom soup. I did not really tolerate milk products for most of my first month. I am in my fifth month. Today, I am home and waiting for the second load to finish in the dryer. I hope to go don to the pool. I have a two piece bathing suit that has a 40 bra top and a 14 bottom. I was in size 24 bathing suit. Linda Login to leave a comment. << Blog Home |
