Not such a good week
Jan 07, 2010
I have to admit I don't feel as good this week as I did last week. Maybe the travel is catching up to me? Maybe my body is simply telling me, "HEY!! You did something MAJOR to me and I need time to adjust!" and maybe it is a combination of all of these. Two days ago I felt well enough to have some chicken for supper. It tasted good, and seemed to settle alright but a couple hours later I was so full I couldn't stand it. By the time I went to bed I was still full and ended up being awakened with reflux...3 times! I finally got up and moved around a bit and then threw up a little bit. I felt pressure inside, again like I was just so full. Finally, after an hour and then going back to bed sitting up, I was able to get back to sleep with no further instances of reflux.The next day (yesterday) I just felt washed out all day. I had no appetite and I actually ate very little, sort of giving my innards a chance to recover from what must have been something too heavy or too much, too soon. I would say the chicken was the culprit. I couldn't drink much yesterday either.
The good news is, my systems are all working. I was afraid I was getting constipated but things are moving. I am able to drink more today than yesterday but I still don't have much of an appetite, not like I did.
I think this is all normal and par for the course, as I know you have to experiment and see what foods you can tolerate and in what quantities. Kim told me the worst time for her was weeks 3 -5, and I am exactly at 3 weeks post op today. Maybe I am right on schedule!
