Home from Surgery

Oct 15, 2010

Surgery went fine on Wednesday..     Spent the night in the hopsital and went home the next evening on Thursday..      Glad to say that it went smoothly without complications and far less pain than I had expected..    I also havnt had any real nasuea       I havnt really had much feedback yet from the pouch...    I have not experianced any signs of hunger whatsoever...       When i was finally allowed to eat..    I ate the tinest of bites.. and it took me like 40 minutes to take in 3-4 ounces of the jello and strained soup they served..   I finally had a feeling of not wanting to eat anymore..  so I stopped..     I never felt any feelings of fullness or stretching..  I just didnt feel I needed to eat anymore..      I explained this to the nutritionist after a my second meal and was told that was good..   And that its normal to not have any feeling of hunger..   Soooo Cool  

      Well when I went home last night, I had a couple extra pills to take...      As If I needed more pills LOL    I sorta got off to a bad start though with them this morning and thank goodness the pharmacy called later on to see how I was doing with them..    But what I did was I woke up and immediatly started taking my vitamins..   Empty stomach mind you...  Well I started by taking my blood pressure pills and the new gall bladder and previcid pills..    I took em all in whole form...      Then I took all my vitamins..     in thier whole horse pill form.. and took each one with a tiny sip of water...     well...     I could feel em like they were sitting in my chest...      I had just took the last one   and decided I would start sipping water until it felt like they were gone...    It took almost 2 hours for them to disolve...      So I had to postpone my breakfast...         When the pharmacy called..   they said next time..    Eat breakfast first to get the stomach working and then break up the vitamins...    It will be much easier on the stomach =)        I have since been able to eat about 4 ounces of screened veggie beef soup and have been sipping on my protien shake...      m also sipping on my water..  seems like im sipping water or broth non stop right now LOL       As I expected..  This will be a lifestyle change indeed !!        Im still feeling good and positive towards the future =)
