in th begining i felt hunger pain untill someone told me it was reflux. i had capsuls and called oncall doctor he gave me the ok to take prevacid capsuls and then it got worsee. i was in soo muxh pain. and the reflux enhanced. now it actually feels like reflux comin thru my throat rather than a hunger pain. i could not sleep last night due to reflux. today ibcalled my doctors office they said i should not have takin capsul and from now on empty and crush the med i did so today i think it helped a little with reflux.

When I was leaving the hospital I showed the nurse as asked her to change my bandages and she said she isnt allowed to touch it the doctor would do so on my next visit.. My next visit is tomorrow btw I cant wait to have my post op visit. I need to go to the next stage. Im experienceing a bitof head hinger which is probably caused by my environment and tv. But I just have the urge to chew. I dont care if its raw broccolii lol I have a question. Are any of you guys taking protien shakes on first stage diet? Im not nut a friend I know is. Im just wondering if your doctors took u off of protien and Vitamins untill further notice? Now im a bit confused.maybe im the one who has the missunderstanding. -

ii have been switching between jello crystal light and chicken broth... there is no way that im getting any protein or any other nutrition. am i doing my diet the wrong way? can someone give me some advice. everything is fine pain is gone unless i bend over or do something that is strenuous i feel like i could go for a 20 minute walk im just afraid but in house im pretty active. my next appointment is on jan 3rd im guessing they will promote me to stage 2 diet and hopefully get there terrible bandages off of me. my belly has been itching a bit i guess a sign of healing.. -
I'm 2 days post op staying with my mother. I wish I had given this more thought.. she is not doing anything like a caregiver. if i ask her to do anything she says in supposed to be the one walking. she constantly is/ yelling at me about stupid stuff but that's how she is on a regular basis.I just wish I had a better care giver who would understand my pains and get rid of the tough love she is so used to giving.. has anyone one else gone thru this I understand we should be walking but I have been bending gettin up getting down found way too much.. advice please

My surgery was done on Friday December 28th 2012 when I woke up I remember crying and panicking. my mother was not in sight. she left during my surgery and came back later. I felt so much pain on my belly. I asked the nurses if it was normal and told them I have never felt anything like this before. I had to use the bathroom and had some help from the nurses to guide me to the bathroom. that's when I said to the nurse "does it feel this bad to have a baby" lol I admit I was being very dramatic but when I first woke up I was a total nut case. I don't know why I was so surprised by the pain. once I had some medicine in my veins I instantly felt sick nausea was my body's reaction to the medicine. of course dry hurling doesn't feel very good on your sore stomach. but very soon after the nausea the pain killer kicked in!!!! and I felt great I my time in the hospital I something I ever slept more than 90minutes. and by the end of the night I was going to the bathroom on my own and feeling much better. first thing in the morning starting at about 5am I began to walk. The nurses said I was doing great. from the time I had my surgery was only able to eat ice chipsI felt dehydrated and all I can have was ice chips. ugh they soon became my friend. next day I had to get my x Ray to make sure there was no leaking. I already heard about the terrible liquid we had to drink. so I was a little aware of the terrible taste. but when I saw the machine they want you to stand up straight on and then it leans back unroll your laying down my stomach instantly felt sick. maybe that was me being a baby again but I knew for sure the liquid would be thrown up if they put me on the machine'. long story short I was right and did throw up. but I held it down long enough for them to see that there was no leaking, throw up was caused by acid reflux. the rest of my hospital stay was great except when my meds wore off I would experience pain and when it was time for more medicine my dry hurls advanced each time to throw up. now I'm home staying with my mother laying on the couch. Suresh I really miss that hospital bed. it was easy to get up if I held on to the bars the right way with out using stomach muscles. it's not so easy on a couch. since I don't have an Iv anymore now I have to swallowy painkiller... no fun I have thrown a few of them up and I have never been much of a pill taker. they are dry kind so they get stuck to younger a bit and I tried to drink to much water to wash it down. and that only made me throw it up. I figured that out fast. won't be doing that anymore. well that's all I have to say for now day 2 post op 10am I wish I was in the hospital or at least had a hospital bed and an iv to not have to swallow my pills lol. I'm getting better just more comfortable in hospital. I will update my blog on day 5 post op after my doctors appointment. happy New year to you all.
