Wow ! it has almost been a month ! I am still learning alot, discovering what things my body wants or does not want,, those are easier,,, as I get HORRENDOUS gas ! and bad case of runs,,,,I am still very weak, I only last about 4 hrs and then have to go take a nap. sure hope this gets better soon. At this point I don't see how if I go back in two more weeks, if I could do a grueling schedule at work! We do 24/7 call, and our days are 12 to 14 hr days. Then there is the patient load, and all the equipment I handle. Can't see it happening!! I talked to Dr Stewart and he said as I was a revision it will be longer for me to recover. He did have a heck of a time getting out the band and port. which was on the sternum. On top of that I have a huge chest cold! that has been lingering for over a week now. Having to hold my side to cough,...
But I feel pretty good, have lost 13lbs now. Slower than the non- revision people but that is to be expected. So in other wards I am on track....
I do a protein shake in the am, and then eat an egg an hour later. I am eating about every two hrs. If I get a pain, that is my clue . Most what I eat at this time is eggs, tuna, scalllops, deli turkey and cheese. have cream cheese, small hummus and gluten free chips if I need crunch. I tried some shrimp was hard to chew. Will wait on that for now. Have a craving for a nice steak,,,, will think about that...LOL
