4 days Post Op

Jul 29, 2010

I finally got almost a full nights sleep last night.  I feel so goo and I hope it lasts. I also was sooo excited to wake up and my stomach is staring to feel like mine again.  The swelling came down quite a bit over night and I hope it stays that way.  It felt good put actually be able to put my gym shorts up on my waist line instead of having them under my stomach.  Up to this point I couldn't stand for anything to be on my stomach due to the gas.  Now if I could just get back to that darn bra not hurting.  I have rather large breasts and having 2 incisions right at the bra line does not help.  Any suggestions?   
The gas as been at times unbelievable.  The walking truly does help; so I have done quite a bit of it.  I stopped taking the script pain killer night before last and I am not so drowsy now (which I hate that feeling so this is good).  I did have to take a shot fo liquid Tylenol yesterday though (headache and little pain).  It worked so no more percoset (sp) for me.  I just want to know how people are druggies that actually like that crap.  I guess If I was an addict and just wanted to sleep then it would work.  They put me on a very low dose and that helped for the nausua because I normally can not take that stuff.
I am ready for real food though; well sort of.  My husband cooked for himself and our son last night and it smelled wonderful.  I am actually kind of afraid of putting read food in my mouth though.  I am sure as my body goes through this liquid, to pureed, to soft food phases that by the time I get to real food it won't scare me so much. 
Getting in the 70 proteins is a bit tough.  The double milk and a few high protein items help to push the # up. 
I went to the Dr yesterday (3 days post op) due to a HUGE bruise, that tripled in size in the amount of a couple hrs, from the camera incision site.  The Dr apologized and said it was his fault and that I also bruise easily (which I do).  I thought everyone got bruises around the incision sites but he told me that does not normally happen.  Cravity has take over and the bruise has moved it's way further down my tummy and hopefully will be gone soon. 
Why oh Why does Wal Mart not carry sugar free Carnations breakfast drink?  Thank you Kroger as you seem to carry everything.  I think I might be switching grocery stores. 
I wish everyone a fantastic weekend.  I have some work to catch up on before I physically go back to work on Monday (which I have mixed emotions on).  Alana
