Horrible Day disgusting be warned before reading.

Mar 28, 2009

I had my second fill on Tuesday, now with 4cc in my band.  I did fluids as advised and soft foods the next day.  By Thursday I was ravenous and to my dismay found that I could eat pretty much whatever I wanted with no restriction.  This continued through Friday and I was definitely over eating, lots.  Friday evening I awoke hungry and went to the kitchen and had a small piece of turkey, somewhat dry.  I got stuck, but it resolved itself, relatively quickly.  This morning I made breakfast, two eggs and an ounce or two of chopped up turkey.  I got stuck almost immediately.  I walked the dogs, spitting saliva around the neighborhood.  I went to work and it got worse.  I was vomiting and foaming and Lord knows what else.  Pain.  Unable to focus or concentrate.  Cancelled all my clients, drove home, spitting into a coffee cup, almost home and I wretched up a mouth full of egg and turkey.  I was clear.  I was exhausted, went to bed, slept for two hours.  When I awoke, I tried drinking some warm tea with milk.  Yikes, it went down, but with difficulty and was not going through the way liquids do. It was like right after surgery.

I called Dr. Boorse who returned my call quickly.  He suggested that we try not taking out saline, and just do cool liquids for a day or two to reduce the inflammation.  I was able to drink some ice water, then some Iso protein over ice.  I’m doing it like right after surgery.  Tomorrow I’ll allow myself some full liquids.  I did have one very small bit of diet chocolate pudding, and it felt great.

Now I have to call my clients and reschedule.

Back to the Villanova Pitt game.
