1 1/2 weeks post op...

May 03, 2009

Well it's done.  My stomach's rerouted!  Having a rough time of it though.  It's very very hard not to get all depressed about the lack of food in my life right now (Boy typing that sentence makes me think how absurd it sounds).  Still on full liquids for another week and a half.  Menu consists of shakes (barf), soup, sugar free Popsicles and fudgecicles, yogurt and jello.  Blah, Blah!

The surgery itself didn't seem too bad, but to tell you the truth, I was not prepared for the pain after wards to be so intense.  I thought that it would be comparable to the pain with my c sections and gall bladder removal - NO IT WAS NOT!  Feeling relatively ok now as far as pain goes, just a little pull here and there.

At this point I'm struggling to get my protein and H20 in, but it gets better everyday.  I still think "WTF did I do to myself" every once in a while, but not as much as the first week out of surgery.

Everyday is a little better.
