4 Days Post Op Update

Apr 24, 2010

Today is day 4 post op, day 3 at home.  My first 2 days at home were pretty rough.  All of the gas build-up from surgery that was trapped inside my shoulders and back has seemed to have finally almost completely worked itself out.  Yesterday, my stomach was making all kinds of gurgling noises, but today it seems to have settled down a little bit.  I am still burping each and every time I sip on anything, water, crystal light, protien drinks or soup.  I hope that this will stop and I will be able to drink and eat without having to belch after each sip as it is quite uncomfortable.  I had my what the "h" did I do to myself moment yesterday and was pretty upset.  But  I am feeling better each day, hopefully by this time next week I wont have any issues with feeling bad or sore anymore.  I'm looking forward to being able to sleep comfortable in my own bed again, instead of propped up or on the couch getting stiff from being in one position too long.  Definately a learning process.  I have been going through all kinds of recipes today to prepare for Pureed food after my follow up appt on Monday.  Looking forward to incorporating some different foods and trying out new things.  That's about it for now.  Here's to the next few days and feeling a whole lot better!
