Day 5

Aug 10, 2013

Hi everyone! I came home from the hospital after staying over three nights (exactly what Dr. K predicted.)

I'm trying to wean myself off the pain medication, so I'm taking Tylenol extra strength instead. I just hate that groggy feeling from the narcotics!

And this morning I started taking all my vitamins. I had two protein shakes yesterday and one so far today. I use two ice cubes and only 4 ounces of water. What seems to work for me is taking two sips and then setting my timer for 15 minutes. Then taking another 2 sips. It takes FOREVER to drink a protein shake, but I'm getting in 23g at a time. So far, so good. I'm also sipping on water every 5-10 minutes whenever I'm not working on a shake.

Before going into the hospital, I bought a lift chair (recliner). I'm so glad I did! I was as comfortable as can be expected last night which I attribute to the chair. 

Looking forward to this bloating to go away and to feeling normal again. One day at a time, right? :)
