Post Op Day 2

Mar 11, 2011

I woke up this morning early and with minimal pain.  It was difficult to 'roll' out of bed without using ab muscles.  I went ahead and took a pain med just to prevent getting like I did the night before with the extreme pain.  I sat down on the couch and it wasn't long before the pain med's made me ready to go back to bed.  So thats what I did!

I ended up sleeping until almost 1 in the afternoon.  That was a great decision.  I have felt much more rested ever since.  I have taken naps through the day after taking half a lortab but I think the long nap this morning was what has made me so energetic this evening.

I drank about 8 ounces or just under that of protein shake today and was only able to get down about 20 ounces of water.  I really have to work on that.  I was peeing like crazy all day, I guess all the fluids from the hospital are being pushed out of me now.  I assume I will get dehydrated quickly if I don't step up the water intake asap.  I'm shooting for 40 ounces minimum tomorow and 64 by the next day.  I think sonic Ice will help me get there lol.

This evening, since i was supposed to start my full liquids, I decided to try a little applesauce.  I mixed about a teaspoon of applesauce with about the same water, how ever much it took to make it almost runny.  where I made the mistake was eating it all in about 5 minutes.  That was stupid.  I have been hurting for two hours since then.  I have got to learn to slow down.  I'm thinking about leaving my bowl in the kitchen and sitting in another room, that way I have to get up for every bite.  I think that would help me get used to slowing down the pace.

I also made some onion soup but didn't get to try it.  I plan on eating that for the next few days.  It smells awesome! 

Anyways, to summarze the day, I slept alot, ate too much, didn;t drink enough, and am ready to get back to sleep again.  I'll continue updating so check back often!
