4 days post op and I want to chew.......baaaaad

Dec 10, 2010

I'm sure watching all the indulgent tv commercials ain't helping either, but God I want some pizza so bad! I just want it in my mouth to savor for few seconds and then I can spit it out. Pathetic huh?
I'm not experiencing any pain from my surgery, just a little gas that I'm still trying to walk off. The gas is totally the worst part of the whole thing honestly. I'm not sure how much, or if I've lost any weight b/c I'm trying not to become a scale neurotic. I'll weigh  myself once a week and maybe once every two weeks. I hope to be able to see the difference in my clothes.
What tastes good: Apple juice and cold water
What tastes bad: Everything else, including the chewable vitamins
I have not even attempted broth b/c I just can't imagine enjoying it even though I have a couple cans in the pantry. Right now it's all about the vitamins, water and apple juice. Also noteworthy, I had my first post-op BM this morning. It was a normal BM. It must be from residual eating b/c I haven't had any food since 12/3. I'm glad there seems to be no complications there. I should also share that Gas-X strips have been a complete and utter waste of money. They do nothing but give me a minty, gum mouth which I hate so I won't be using them anymore. Rolling around and chasing after my 8 month old daughter should be just enough activity to get the last of the gas out. Did I mention how bad the gas sucks? Ugh!!!
