Post-op Day 2

Dec 02, 2012

LOL -- don't worry, I'm not going to give a daily update after this!  Since there are a bunch of us clustered together, I'm oversharing!

Last night I downed my last bit of broth a little too quickly and had a rolling lava filled gut -- but nothing came back up!  So I started my PPI and took a Pepcid, and that helped considerably.

I slept in the bed, with a bunch of pillows propping me up, so was basically in a sitting positon, and that worked out fine.  I also took the anti-nausea meds, since I was having some action down there, plus it makes me sleepy!

Got up once and was still a little funny in the tummy, so I took another anti-nausea pill and went back to sleep.

Was fine this morning.  We went to REI for a little Christmas shopping -- I was worn out in about 15 minutes, but it was more interesting than walking around the house!

I am on track for all 64 oz of liquids today, but have only had a little protein in my chicken broth.  I'll start full liquids on Monday, and will begin actively going after my protein then.  Since I've been so queasy, I didn't want to risk anything from the Isopure -- LOL -- I even got a syringe and squirted it down my throat so I wouldn't taste it!  

So overall, I'm doing pretty well.  Two of my incision spots are in the "fold" over my waistline, which is where my undies and pants rub, so I have to be careful to make sure I wear the biggest ones I have!

I haven't had hardly any gas pain, and most burp. So overall, things are going pretty well!

Can't wait to hear from the rest of the Nov. Sleevers, and I hope this helps some of you all who are scheduled for later!
