Day Three Full Liquids..

Sep 20, 2010

No one was kidding when they said this was a learning process.  The post surgery gas is absolutely no joke.  I was almost willing to try anything this morning. After waking up yet again at 3am in pain after it subsided some i researched, but nothing worked.. though the laying on the left side did relieve some gas... i had to struggle up to get to the bathroom because you can't be too safe.. and well i brough a towel back to bed.  Finally fell back asleep about 630..only to wake up at 730 with more pain.. got up and moving around some finally about 8 got my protein shake, rested with my head on the tv tray and the pain subsided... Oh was this awesome! Pain started again.. about 1030.. grabbed another protein shake... ah relief.. i was excited! I was feeling good. usual and tolerable gas, not that intense back breaking pain.  Around 130 i thought ok i need to eat before my company got here, so instead of having another protein shake (there were no more pre-made ones) i had some beef broth.. OMG the pain again.. how awful! So beef broth is off my food list.. and my friend visit didnt go so well as she came in the midst of it.  But it finally subsided... made meal #4.. yes a protein shake.. and no problems... feeling good again! So excited. So was i actually feeling hunger "pains" at 300am? the water wasn't helping, but kept it somewhat at bay.. but thats all i can think of. i can't start my meals at 3am everyday.. but hopefully i will be able to sleep tonight. that would be wonderful!!
