Day 2 for me was almost worse than day 1. The pain meds from the hospital wore off and I had my liquid rx but I feel the bruising and tenderness in my belly. It's not too bad though. Mostly I feel tired. I am drinking chicken broth, water and popcicles. I love the popcicles cause I can kind of chew on them a little. I tried jello but it hurts going down so maybe i'm not ready for that yet. I'll wait a couple more days to try it again. I'm loving the warm broth..it makes me feel good.

 

I am battleing with a low grade fever and I don't like feeling hot, but I'm hoping it goes away on it's own. I assume it's my body adjusting to a new foreign entity ?? I hope. I go through bouts of extreme tiredness where I just want to sleep. I am a very active person so this is killing me to not be feeling up to going and doing things.

 

I'm excited but definatly have mixed emotions about all of this. I feel excited but a little scared. Is that normal to feel this way? I've had a relationship with food for 30 years and now...I will have a new one. I know it sounds crazy...and trust me I'm not crazy, but Its a whole new sector of my life and one I cannot wait to embrace. Just a little nervous.

 

I think it sucks that I had to go to this measure to get healthy. I'm kind of mad at myself that I have to put myself through all of this. Why couldn't I just love jogging? LOL

 

Oh well I'm excited and I know that my new healthy body will open doors I have never been through before.

It is hard, but you will be past this part soon. I look forward to hearing more about your recovery, I have my band on 7-23-10 and am very nervous! Don't wait to let the fever get too high, concerning yes, could be infection. I would call the doctor/nurse just to be on the safe side. They more than likely told you that during discharge from the hospital. Good Luck
