4 days out

Dec 25, 2011

So I'm 4 days out and it hurts. A lot. I haven't been able get down my 64 ounces of liquid yet but i've been trying. I have been able to get down all of my vitamins and at least 40 ounces of liquid. I see my pain medication dwindling and it's making me anxious. It definitely won't last for more than another day. However the Doc's office opens up again tomorrow morning so hopefully I can get a refill. Weightwise - I'm approximately 17 pounds down from my pre-liquid diet weight. My toddler is being pretty good about "Mommy's ouchie" she comes and sits next to me and points to my tummy and says 'mommy's ouchie, tickles!" and then wiggles her fingers without touching me.

Depsite the pain and focus on drinking Christmas was really nice, my mom has been here helping out and we had a great time opening gifts on Christmas morning. Afterwards I took a dose of pain meds and took a nap while everyone ate Christmas
Ham and other goodies. I feel so uncomfortably full drinking my broth and protein drink that I can't even think about trying to eat solid food. In my mind I remember how good it tastes and I would like to eat it again but the idea of putting it in my mouth makes me shudder.

I'm hoping the pain goes away pretty soon because other than that the drinking is fairly manageable. I'm sure it will go away eventually, let's just hope sooner rather than later.
