3 Week Update
Aug 03, 2009
Well the pain in my lower abdomen has done nothing but get worse in the past week. I called Siegel's office this morning and he told them to send me in this afternoon.I went in at 4:30pm and he looked at my incisions, pokes them. Asks if they hurt, I said nope, no pain around my surgery area, it's all lower. So he has me stand up, show him the spot, he pushes in and has me cough. Nope, no hernia. His idea was the same as mine, my ovaries. So he gave me an order for a Pelvic Ultrasound, I have it scheduled for 8am Thursday before work in Vernon Hills.
The constant, throbbing pain is driving me nuts. I'm pretty positive it's cysts on my ovaries flared up. I can't sit comfortably or lay on my left side. If it is my ovaries, PCOS sucks!
Siegel did say, however, that I may attempt to eat whatever I like at this point. No more mushy foods. He suggested soft chicken & fish. I also weighed in at 208 from 227 on surgery day. He said that's normal paced. It seems slow to me.
So it seems I am having a terrible time keeping most soft foods down. I throw up almost everything instantly. I did however, get a baked potato from Wendy's on the way to Siegel's today and that tasted yummy and settled well.
A list of things I've been gutsy enough to try in the last week (Not all in one sitting of course!):
1 Meal: Few nibbles of a Bean Burrito from Taco Bell & a few nibbles of a Cheese Quesidilla from Taco Bell
1 Meal: 4 cubes of watermelon (came back up)
1 Meal: 1/2 Baked Potato from Wendy's
Snack: A few cashews
Snack: A few potato wedges with a lil cheese from Olando's
Snack: 5 Fresh Raspberries
The watermelon seems to be the only thing that I've had an issue with. I think my biggest problem is taking too large of bites / eatting too fast....I dunno....this has been really hard.
Oh, on Friday I am having my IUD inserted for Birth Control. For those of you that don't know. Birth Control Pills are not as effective since you don't absorb as much of it when you swallow it and the Depo Shot causes you to gain weight. So IUD it is!
Thats about it for now!
