6 days post op

Jul 03, 2012

Well today is 6 days out and thought I should write out how I am feeling so when I am hopefully feeling better in a few days that I can reflect where I have come from. Yesterday (day 5) I was really nausea all day long. I tried all of my meds the dr. gave to me but nothing seemed to help. I am not sure if it was due to the gas still in my belly or what. Anyways I had very little pain but I did drive my kids to daycare and I am thinking it was to early for me to driving because when I woke up this morning my two lower incisions really were sore. My surgeon feels that I have a deep muscle bruise in my lower right side incision and every movement I make it pulls and hurts. It is bearable but irritating. Oh I am so trying to deal with this and know that the future is brighter on the other side and this is going to get better but it really sucks in the present... Today I was a so tired when I got up I decided to just get some more rest. I guess we had a really bad storm last night which on a normal night I would have woke up to, but slept right through it last night. I know my body is healing and all that fun stuff I am just tired. Today I was shaky, a little less nausea and exhausted. Hopefully increasing my protein today will help me start my day off better tomorrow. I just really just wanna eat something. This is really the worst part for me so far because food has always been so comforting to me and now I can't touch it. 

Feel like I am whining but I don't really care today. I am tolerating liquids, I got down my protein shake today which was 34 grams of protein and my nesquick which was another 8 grams with skim milk. So 42 oz so far today. I am not so shaky now but am still exhausted. Here is hoping that this liquid diet goes by quickly and I can eat cottage cheese and yogurt again soon!!!

Post Op appt is on Friday July 6th @ 2:15 so I will let everyone know what the surgeon says at that time and tell you my first official weigh in numbers.. super excited about that. 

Here's to a bertter tomorrow!!
