1 month 5 days post op

Oct 19, 2010

So I know I have been really bad and not posted in a while. I have had alot going on at home and at work. So anyway, here is my update so far and hopefully I will be able to update alot more from now on.

The surgery experience wasn't as bad as anticipated. I think the anticipation was the worst part of it. I did have alot of gas pains, but walking helps alot. You feel better everytime you walk. The fact that I couldn't move in the bed was aggrevating. The drain didn't hurt at all, it felt a little wierd from every now and then

When I first came out of surgery I was afraid to drink or sip. The hardest part about all of this is learning my limits. I still have old habits come back to haunt me from time and again. I'll start eating fast and before I know it I swallow without chewing all very good. I end up getting sick. Talk about pain. It hurts really bad.

My biggest goal now is to remember to eat and then make myself. It's not that I am not hungry, but I can't eat the way i use to and it's hard for me to give in to eating at all because of that. as for fluids I am doing pretty good getting them in.

Everything physically has been really good. The past three days I have been very tired. Well I have to go, but I  will update more frequently.
