Don't make me laugh-- it hurts!

Oct 08, 2011

Arrgh...."Did anyone get the license number of the truck that hit me?"  .....Shit, that hurt!  LOL  

I'm 6 days post op and still in a bit of pain.  I think the most pain I ever experienced through this whole process is the gas rollin around in my belly and when someone makes me laugh. 

I am still a bit weak but I walk around quit a bit.  I wake up each morning feeling better than I did the day before, but by 2:00pm I'm in pain and weak again and in need of a nap.  

Day 6 and I'm finally able to bend over -- I haven't been able to bend, my diaphram is so sore.  The doctors ended up reparing a hernia while doing the gastric bypass (I guess that was a 'bonus'). 

I know that I'm not supposed to be hungry yet (but I am)....I guess it's mental hunger-- needless to say it's been a battle.  I'm still on liquid diet with protein, won't be able to graduate to mushies untill sometime after the 14th. 

I'm out of pain medication, so I think today I'll just take tylenol extra strength.  Hopefully that will take the edge off the gas pain..
