Surgery went GREAT! Life after begins.

Feb 14, 2009

My surgery went very well with no complications. I was able to get off the MORPHINE pump and the IV very quickly.

AND LET ME TELL YA...THAT CATHADER IS FREAKING REDICIOLUS! It hurt more than the surgery!
NO not inserting it, cuz I was out for that part of it, but the walking around with it in, and the laying there accidentally hitting the tube and having it pull on your private parts...MAN!! That is my biggest complaint of the whole thing. LUCKILY they took it out the next day cuz I was so MOBILE!! NOW my private woman parts feel tender from the whole thing...yuck.

The Dr. was impressed with my speedy recovery.
Im complaining right now about all the bubblys Im having, its endless, everytime I drink Im bubbly.
It kinda hurts in my stomach all the time with the bubbles.  I always feel like I have a stuck burp down in my chest.
I seriously hope that goes away quick.

I seriously miss food. I have not had food sinct the 6th of FEB. NOW I feel weak, and that I have not even an ounce of energy. I fantasize about eating any food. Even the smallest portion. Im even fantisizing on what healthy foods I can make when I can actually eat.

MY DR HAS ME ON A CLEAR LIQUID DIET UNTIL A WEEK AFTER MY SURGERY. THEN, I can go on FULL liquid diet including PROTIEN shakes, for a week, THEN its pureed foods 1 WK . THEN soft foods1 WK. After all of that IF I can tolate reg foods I can choose to move to them.

I have to learn to eat slow! Ive already threw up a popsicle due to the fact I ate it to slow. THEN I felt like I had slight dumping syndrome on my second protien shake. I moved my diet along to protien shakes cuz I felt I could handle it. The first one was fine. THE second one made me dump. BUT....Maybe it had too much sugar in it. I needed to move my diet along, I had NOOOO ENERGY! I felt like I was going to faint the instant I stood up.

The good news is that I have lost a total of 16 lbs!!! THAT is what keeps me going.
Hope all is well with you all out in Obeisity Help Land!!
 
Do any of you have any suggestions for the BUBBLYS....AHHHHH
