5th day after surgery
Oct 27, 2009
Well yesterday I decided to venture back to work. Since I work in a School and most of my duties are at the desk I thought that I would be ok. The day went great until the end. I started feeling very tired and my side started hurting again. So when I went home I crashed. And I decided that today I would take another day off and rest. Tomorrow I will try again. I have been getting pains by my left rib cage. Kind of like a side stitch that runners get. After careful consideration and help from others I think I have determined that it's either swelling, scar tissue, or gas pains. I do feel much better today. The pain in my left side is pretty much gone. I do feel the tugging of the port stitches today but it's not too bad.I'm done 30 lbs since the start. I'm feeling much better although getting hungry. I'm on the liquid phase of the diet until I see my doctor on Nov 2. I had to add another protein shake because I was so hungry. Ok so yesterday I cheated a bit and had 3 tbs of scrambled eggs and a tablespoon of Applesauce. Both went down very well.
I can feel the restriction of swelling going down and I feel as though I can eat just about anything. However I know that I'm not going to let the 'head hunger' get the best of me EVER AGAIN!!!
