Post surgery thoughts

Feb 14, 2009

I am now 2 days post-op. I am having a lot of different feelings right now. Deep down inside, I am mourning the loss of food. My stomach feels hungry all of the time and everytime I see something in my kitchen, I wish I could eat it.  My doctor has me on:
Prilosec once per day
Reglan 4 times per day
Symax 3 times per day
Plus i have to take my Synthroid and Lexapro once daily.
This is so many pills to try and get down in one day. I had to create a record to cross off when I take a certain dose.  I am supposed to take the above meds for 7 days after surgery. I haven't really felt nauseous or sick, which is good. I haven't taken one dose of pain meds since my surgery....it just doesn't hurt.  Just weak and hungry. I can't wait until full liquids, I will be the happiest girl in the world.
