I miss food!

I cannot wait to crunch raw vegetables. And I'm dying for a piece of watermelon. -
They told me to do it in my belly and showed me how in the hospital. Every doctor is different. Is it Lovenox they gave you?

I was prescribed Nexium upon discharge with 6 refills. It's small enough I can take it with some water no problem. I had GERD to begin with and was on Prilosec pre op but he switched me just because the pill is a little smaller.

Well some of the soup came back. But at least not all of it. Guess I'm still learning the limits of my pouch. I'm instantly not sick anymore tho!
-
I definitely just sipped one or two sips too much of my soup. I feel like there's a knot in my throat. I hope walking around and a hot shower gets this moving. I've had a really good day and do not want to ruin it by something coming back up.

I second calling the doctor. Especially with the heparin shots and stuff in the hospital. They told me call immediately if I have any blood in my stool, urine or vomit.

OMG if you smoked that little, don't even do the ecig. Just go for a walk or drink a glass of Water or run the vacuum or something when the urge strikes. I was 1-2 packs a day.

I had surgery Thursday and didn't really shake the anesthesia hangover until Saturday. It gets better.

Ok. I finally made something REALLY good. 1 package SF French vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast 1/2 scoop unflavored Syntrax whey Protein 6 oz light vanilla soy milk 2 oz fresh brewed chai tea Sprinkle or cinnamon 15g protein total and tastes like an iced chai latte from Starbucks!!!! -
I get dizzy and tired. I think it's just the lack of calories etc from being on liquids.
-
I just want to chew or crunch something.

I actually quit smoking last year with e-cigs! I got down to almost no nicotine and both my PCP, surgeon and hematologist were ok with that. I haven't picked the thing up in the week since my surgery tho. I feel like I finally maybe kicked it for good.

I'm 6 days out and down 12.6 lbs. Not hungry but desperately want to actually chew and feel food in my mouth. I'm so tired of just sipping.

I'm right there with you. Today I'm so depressed. I just want to chew on something!!! Praying at my post op on Tuesday they let me go to soft foods. I'm so over broth, water and tea. -
Dairy milk seems to just not sit with me right at the moment. I mean it came out like a projectile and I was dry heaving and sweating and miserable.
-
Even tho I'm not hungry, today is the first day I'm really missing crunching or chewing something. Maybe it's the other issues I have going on. I don't know. Just having a hard time today.
-
I held down everything today until I tried my NUTs suggestion of condensed soup made with skim milk. Came right back up. Starting to think I can't do lactose. Because the carnation instant breakfast with soy milk stayed in no problem. I think I'm gonna try calming my tummy with some warm herbal tea.

So the PA from the surgeons office just called back. Thinks my cough may just be a combo of post nasal drip and needing my asthma/allergy meds to build back up in my system. Said if I was truly "sick" or had irritation from the intubation I would most likely cough all the time not only when I fell asleep.

Did not sleep last night. Worst night since I've been home. Out of control cough and my lungs feel so tight. My asthma inhalers did not even help. Don't know if its post nasal drip from my allergies or the start of an upper respiratory infection. Going to put a call in to the surgeons office here shortly. I was planning on going back to work tomorrow but I can't if I can't get any sleep.

Today was so so so much better for me! And then I didn't chew my Calcium chewable enough. And that was awful. Time to sip some Water and take a hot shower and go to bed.
