From surgery to my 2 week egg fiasco!

Jan 17, 2013

     I haven't posted in some time, but I will catch you all up. I got the phone call to come in at five am.Yea 5AM. I called shenanegans on that one by the way! Everything went smoothly until I opened my eyes in the recovery room. All of a sudden I clammed up with nausea and I swear there was a full on  waterfall developing in my mouth. I was having sleeve spasms which was causing the nausea. For a few days and all through the swallow test I was heaving mouthfuls of saliva. Thankfully my bariatric team changed up my meds and all was perfect. Except for the crazy ass night nurse who made me drink water which was painful and went down like rocks. Still does at this point. Weird!  

     Nothing exciting happened the first week as I healed. I was sore but it was completely bearable other than sleeping on my back and feeling like a flipped over beetle trying to get up from my bed. I used all sorts of fancy moves in bed. I will remember them for another time lol.

     Week 2... the day? Number 1 on puree/soft phase. Started off with a cup of tea.  I feel pretentious now LOL; coffee tastes like shit now for some reason I loved it before the surgery! Anyway, I cooked myself my first scramby egg! I was so excited. It went down well as it was very mushy. About 2 hours later I headed off to school to drop off paperwork and had about a half of a protein shake. I thought I was going to die! Heading home and of course stuck in traffic I get hit with enormous spiking gas pain followed by the unbelievable need to pull over and shit by the side of the road! It was horrendous. Don't worry, I didn't but I sure a hell wasn't going to shit my pants in my car LOL! It subsided. Than about a minute later it came back! OH no! Get to a road with a gas station or anything McDonalds... I didn't care! Luckily traffic broke and I booked it home with no time to spare. Explosions and fireworks in the bathroom I tell ya! Not the good kind. I'm still traumatized and staying close to the toilet tonight! I think I will go back to full liquids for a bit.

These are my pre-op pics for reference later (I really write this for my benefit, but If a few people get anything from my blog it makes me happy)
