Day 5 Post-Op, Unfill And Back To Work Today!

Okay, day 5 and back to work. Wasn't too bad, just wore me out! I've been on the couch ever since I hit the door and fed the dogs :) So - this morning before work I went in for an adjustment - an unfill of about 1.5cc's. It seemed to make a difference in getting my protein shake down and my soup at lunch. Still feel a little like I need to burp sometimes, but better.

 

Getting my unfill was a little uncomfortable, I'm still sore from surgery and she had to push around a bit to locate the port (ouchey) and then the SCARY needle (which actually didn't really hurt) was inserted. Once she was where she needed to be, she took fluid out, removed the needle and had me drink some water. It was better :) So now I know exactly what it feels like to be in the "red" zone (too full). Next time I'm sure it won't hurt at all once I'm healed.

 

So, the weirdest thing is going through an entire day and not feeling hungry, even when just on liquids! This is the most amazing thing ever, and I'm so happy I made this decision!

 

Good luck everyone.

Cooper1 - I sure hope your surgery went well - it's uncomfortable, but it I was really amazed at how quickly I felt better. Downhome chik - today was my 1 week bandaversary, and I really felt so good today. I'm sure you'll feel good by your 7th day. Do you have a desk job? and Trisket - NOT HUNGRY ROCKS!!!!!
