Ok so I really need to write this down, bcz there are so many things going through my head and stomach that I do not know what to do with it. first off, my first day in mexico, after my surgery was great. i honestly felt like nothing had ever happened.. I even wondered if the Dr. had indeed removed any part of my stomach. The pain meds worked beautifully, and I was not even allowed to drink anything at the time. (this is probably the reason why I felt so good, now that I think about it.). Anyways, day 2 I felt somewhat of a dull pain on my bigger incission. I started sucking on ice chips- which was no biggie. I still wondered.. "is this really going to work for me, cz I feel just fine". I even have a video that my hubby recorded of me dancing in my hospital gown. I did as many walkthroughs around the hospitals as I could. Day 3 is when all the pain, spitting, and cramps came. I attempted to drink a grape juice early in the morning- big mistake. Not only was the stupid thing too sweet to handle, it was just way too much. I don't think I stomached more than 1/4 of the darn little thing. So I went back to my ice chips, an awesome comfort zone. But then I started realizing that these cramps came by everytime I swallowed something. :( So in between the cramps, me trying to figure out if what I should and shouldn't drink, I am not getting all my liquids in. Day 4, lighter on the crampies, now I'm getting this slimmy saliva residue when I drink something. It's gross and it gave me nausea once to the point where i ran off the bed and puked in the sink ( i puked all my antibiotics). I noticed that if I sit still without sipping on anything for a while, a bunch of slobber begins to accumulate on the back of my throat. I spoke to my Dr and he says is it only saliva, signal that my stomach is still healing. no biggie- keep up the hydration. I seem to be doing better with warm / hot waters and teas. If i sip non stop, then there is no issues- just a tad of slimmies.I hope this gets better, everyone around the house is eating, chips,cookies and hotdogs- it's tough to have visitors when you are recuperating.
Thanks for letting me rant.
