11 days Post-op

Jun 18, 2011

I still have my period.  Going on day 6.  Ugh!  I wish it would end already!!  I'm not getting enough fluids in.    I've been having issues with acid reflux and what people refer to as "foamies".  I paged my doctor today and he said that I need to discontinue fluids a few hours before bed and to take a Levsin about 30 minutes before bed.  He told me that when you get excessive mucous in your mouth it means that your pouch is full.  I don't understand what my pouch is so full of?  Since I am on liquids I thought that liquids go through you relatively quickly.  He told me to try to walk around when that happens and that gravity should help to get it to empty.

I weighed in at 314lbs exactly this morning.  I've now lost 61lbs total and have lost 11lbs post-op.  I go for a follow up appointment next week for my "one week post-op" check but it really is going to be 2 weeks.
