Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers....I haven't been on in a while and need to update my journal.:)

 

Day 2 Post Op

March 13, 2007 @ 5:51am

Woke up about a quarter to six, my usual time... God blessed me so... I made it through the night without too much discomfort. The gas is probably the most uncomfortable thing, but Sue has me walking , sipping and taking in protein to relieve that gas. I'm glad she's here. She's my best friend and she had the gastric surgery and looks like a million bucks! It's nice having someon understand y'know?:P

This morning I'm able to sit up on my own and draft this journal entry before entering it. I'm on some water-laced with crystal light's fruit punch:) ...doing breathing exercises every so often and trying to cough, burp or fart...the farts are easier:) . My hair is still a mess, but mom's going to style it...so much fell out pre-op due to stress... ooh weee there goes my first sneeze... I had to hold myself for that one.:eek:

I'm still going to take it easy today, but I'm going to try for more water and protein;

 

Day 3 Post Op

VERY SORE!!! :faint: Anestesia has definately wore off and i've been taking tylenol to ease the pain(Really wish doc prescribed Vicodin). I'm holding my stomache alot. Walking is much easier and i"m really trying... I'm sipping on water more today.

Congrats to me, I had my first Post Op Bowel movement!:biggrin1: Maybe it's because I slightly feel like poop?:!:

 

Day 4 Post Op

March 15, 2007 @ 6:05am

I am in so much discomfort :sick and can't at this time tell if it's the gas or the surgery sutures... I broke down today and took a gas strip... I know doctor Endres said no, but I couldn't find any relief(It didn't work anyway) Gonna try to take things easy again...I really think I've pushed things.

:faint:

 

 

Day 5 Post Op

March 16, 2007 @ 8:25am

Last night was horrible! :angry I couldn't sleep comfortably. Felt like I had a big gas bubble in the middle of my boobs!

I'm also tired of all the phone calls from collections-- Got a bit behind-- these people don't care when I said I'm in recovery from surgery Monday...I see my attorney tomorrow...unfortunately I will have to file BK for all the bills that are too much for me to pay:cry

Because I sat up half the night, I'm seriously with the bags. Hope to update all this entries in my journal today :biggrin1:

Still have that gassy feeling in my belly-chest-sucks. Should be gone soon. I really can't wait to eat--- not really hungry, but miss the taste of food. It's a good thing I can start mushy foods Monday. I'm so longing for some pureed eggplant YUM!:hungry:

Haven't been able to eat a full cup of jello and weirdest thing of all is I'm watching a lot of the FOOD NETWORK..... I NEVER watch the FOOD NETWORK:omg:

 

Luv and all that,

Desi
