one-week post op

Apr 28, 2016

First week post op was a miserable one. Came home from the hospital and was unable to swallow anything regardless of hot or cold due to severe chest pain. After a couple of days at home and not feeling any better I placed a call to the doctor and the following morning went to his office. He diagnosed me with esophageal spasms. He sent me over to the hospital for a specialized chest x-ray and blood work. It was confirmed I was experiencing spams which stopped me from swalling anything. I  was given some meds for this condition and by the next day I was able to take my vitamins and take my protein shakes. I felt at this time, okay I can do this now that I can consume some calories. After 6 days I had lost 22 lbs. I hadnt seen that number on the scale in a very long time.
