6 days post op!!!
Apr 09, 2013
so im 6 days post op, i feel really good, first 2 days were bad.. lots of pain and vomiting (had anti-inflammatory meds IV) huge help!!now i feel full of energy, and have lost 8lbs!!! surgery was in mexico (so if anyone needs reassurance over the care ther please message me!) the bags of energy i have is truly amazing im putting this down to my body being free of carbs and sugar.. nasty things!
im managing to get around 55-60 oz of clear fluids in a day, water, apple juice (my best friend!) broth and popsicles. also my tablets. one thing im noticing is in the morning i wake with pain under my breast bone also if i drink too quickly (which is easy to do as i keep forgetting!) it goes once i manage to burp. has anyone else experienced this and does it go away?
im on clear fluids for the next week then on to protein shakes etc.
i would just like to say if you are about to embark on this very brave journey i can honestly say it is not as bad as you think! i had visions of vomiting daily pain etc.. but i have had none of this im happy so far that i have made this desicion as i know i have a very healthy future ahead of me!
