Up date

Well I didn't get out of the house till day 5 and I stayed out for 4 hrs. When I got home I was supper tired. I didn't start feeling real good till day 4 I had so much gas pain. Every day my diet changes like yesterday I had mashed potato for dinner!!! I was super excited, ate too fast and it felt like it was getting stuck. Now I know what that feeling was when I was eating too fast, because I know I take eraser size bites. I have not felt full yet I am too scared to find out. A lot of my diet has been tomato soup. I work for a Head Start company and we have been in trainings and will be for the next 2 weeks. It was hard yesterday to watch all my friends and co-workers all day cater meals. I kinda feel " here I am the looser bring her lunch and smelly protein drinks". I just have one incision that is tender and makes me sleep on my back still. I am a stomach sleeper so its hard to fall asleep.

Day 2 post op

Things have been going well I try to get up a lot and walk around the house. We have 2 dog one dog who likes to paw you( 74lbs) and the other will jump(41lbs) so I have been guarding my self with a fly-swatter. I think they know I am in pain and that I have some wounds so they have been trying to sniff me a lot. Over all they are being really good! My boyfriend has been so helpful with all my needs and very supportive.   I have been scared about eating to much or drinking to fast. I have been trying to pace myself very slowly. I keep getting gurgle feelings inside my stomach and I hope that I won't have to throw up. Has anyone else experienced these gurgle feelings after surgery?   If anyone wants to comment or chat hit me up.

Surgery Day

Well the surgery went well and I am still in the hospital with some unconformable pain. I am fighting too keeping my eyes open. I can go home tomorrow morning and my boyfriend took off the whole week of work to bee with me. It's he wonderful! I have made 2 trips to the bathroom and now I am sitting up in the chair I think I will stay here and take another nap. Anesthesia was so weird I was awake talking to the nurse and next thing i know i wake up with lots of pain. Every 10 min or so they would give me pain meds threw my iv. Then the Dr. said i could have a shot and o-man that brought me down to a 5 on pain, with a pain level from 1-10. Dr. Sewell said the wished he had video taped my surgery because it went so smooth, there was minimal bleeding, and it was "picture-book" quality. I will keep you updated.:tongue_smilie:

Day 3,4,& 5

I keep forgetting I am on a diet! On day 3 I went to get my student some animal crackers, because it was after 5 and they are usually hungry by then. When I was getting them I was saying to my self I will get some extra for me and the other teachers. What the Hell! I hate having this habit.   Yesterday was day 4 and it went well I had enough energy to clean my kitchen. I am taking English comp 1 and I have been working on my final so that has helped to keep my mind off food. I worry that now that it is over I will be staring at thefridge.   Day 5 I am sick of the shakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is taking me every thing I do to choke them down. I will be going to the store later so I hope I can pick up a few things to liven them up!

Day 2

Day 2 of my pre-op diet was not so easy. At your head start school we have family style meals. Today for breakfast there was eggs and toast with grape jelly. Well I just started making a plate. When I put the plate down I thought "what the hell am I doing?" It is going to be hard to break old habits.:scared0:
