18 days post op

Apr 21, 2012

I'm doing great.  I go back to work on Tuesday ( three weeks exactly )...

I had one episode of vomiting and constipation on Monday ( 2 weeks post op) I had been going to the washroom  farirly regularly ... small amounts but I hadn't been eating much , so that is to be expected. I realized on Sunday that I felt like I had to go but couldn't. Took a bit of miralax but it didn't do much. Tried on and off all day monday. Ended up going to a movie with my stepdaughter and drank a fair amount of her iced tea. It was very sugary... I started feeling really sick. I ended up feeling so sick that I had to get her dad to come and switch places with me at the movies .     I went home and crawled into bed... Took some more miralax. Ended up throwing up all night... just bile . I finally was able to get a gravol down and slept the night and woke up feeling much much better.....

The next day I actually had to disimpact myself. It wasn't coming out and I was starting to get diarrhea around the impacted stool. It was horrible. ... bleck. but it did the job and I was able to get on with my day which included shopping on a cross border trip. I/ve added some stool softeners to my selection of pills and vitamins. Sometimes it seems i am taking soooo many. This is what I take

Effexor  once a day, Thyroixine once a day , calcuim twice a day, b12 once a day. multi vite once a day , pantoprozole once a day, vitamine d once a day.  and stool softeners twice a day ( only 100 mg) I would take some iron but I figure it can be constipating and I ain't going there yet... lol

Shopping was fun! I didn't buy that much . I got 2 pairs of XL yoga pants ( one short and one long) from old navy. Not even the XXL ... they are slimming too!

I also picked up a bunch a tank tops at gordmans and a couple shape wear stuff made from fat free dressing . The slimming tank and a pair of shorts to slim.

I spent next to nothing on food on the trip too. $10 over 2 meals of soup at the green mill . Yummy. My sister and friend spent probably around $50... more for clothes later on. I figure I will wear yoga pants mostly as I go down in sizes.

I'm down 28 lbs from my pre op weight ( before the pre op diet)  WOOOHOOOOO
