6/12/09, 3 days post-op

Jun 12, 2009

I had my post-op appt. today.  I've lost about 4 lbs. but I know I'm bloated.  And I mean BLOATED!  Boy, I thought people were just talking about right after surgery.  I didn't know it would be daily.  I feel more bloated at night.  I'm trying to get most of my liquids down, but I feel so full.  The doctor said that was normal and that it would take me some time to get them all down. 

My stomach was getting upset and so the doctor suggested I try soy powder.  I put it in some broth and it was ok.  I'm still not up to drinking the shakes just yet.  But I do like broth, so that is good. 

I had a dream last night that I was going to eat real food.  I kept telling my friends, I can only have one bite.  So I had my one bite...of edamame!  Dreams are crazy.

Each night, I'm sleeping better.  I can't wait till I can sleep on my side/tummy again.  I'm getting closer to feeling normal.  I'm trying to be patient and not think too far into the future.  Just trying to take it one day at a time.
