Happy Fourth of July
Today is my 5th post-op day and I woke up feeling pretty good. I had a bad experience yesterday with the shoulder pain, and gas pain. We went to my sister-in-laws for swimming and a little celebration. It was a stupid thing to do, but I mushed a little bit of potatoes and had a little sliver of mushy cake, and thought I would explode. I got up to excuse myself and was washing dishes, then felt myself getting sweaty and light-headed like I was about to faint. So, I went outside and got some air which helped a bit. Then I started the dry heaves. Nothing came up but some air, so is this the proverbial PB I've heard so much about? If so, I really want nothing to do with it ever again. Now my chest feels a little sore but the full feeling is gone. I weigh 214.8 this morning, down from 239 1 month ago. I can wear my wedding rings again which is very special to me.
My brother is having a cook-out tonight for his birthday - I have to have a little more self-control around the food. Has anyone felt like they want to take what is available just to make it look like you're a normal eater?? Does that make sense. It's hard to explain why I just have a tiny bit on my plate without having to go into all the details, which I don't always want to do,
I did have a good day with my mom yesterday. I fixed a meal for her because she doesn't have an appetite with this cancer news. I went to the store for her, and ran a few errands. She cried a little (highly unusual for her) and I think felt a little better,
Have a great day.
