Got home, got my doona and tv set up, and just lounged around, every hour trying to squeeze in a walk to keep the circulation going. Boy it was a struggle to get up off that couch, you dont really realise how much you actually use your stomach muscles. Day 1 i was abit sad, the night to go to sleep was difficult your not on strong pain killers as you are in hospital, you find it harder to go to sleep, but you copy the fowler position in hospital to get to sleep. I was Sip, Sip Sipping away, although to be honest i couldnt be bothered... its so hard just to sip sip sip when your use to drinking in large quantaties but i guess u manage. As each day goes it gets better though the pain and general mobility although the sleeps can get annoying and COUGHING ouch, thats a killer each time i cough i think one of my stomach stiches will come undone or my band will slip but i generally think that all the time, abit of paranoia i have, with the constant cramps and discomfort. But i guess the only time you should be concerned is if you have a high temperature over38 degreees. Other then that Dah.. you had surgery!!

I am today on my 5th day since surgery!! yesterday was i killer i wanted to EAT!!! everyone says they are fine and you are bloated etc.. but i wasnt so today although i still wanted to kill my family for eating dinner and me staring at my water and sipping it at the time, i was better i bought more liquids to have. I supplied myself with Up&Go and finding its giving me my energy back and less moodiness, yday i was balling my eyes out of hunger and discomfort. And i still need to update my lemonade iceblock supply and got some sustagen for more variety. For dinners as i like something warm i have some chicken soup, sieved ofcourse. I cant wait to get to MUSH food!!!!!!!!!!! its depressing!! another thing i found hard, is when your preparing something for someone else its so hard, my head is in a habit of licking my fingers and almost had a piece of carrot and lettuce Aaaaaah ... lucky i spat it out!! :tt2:
