Thank you both. I had planned so much to be able to just drink and drink, and that is all I seem to do, but if you drink too much you will vomit (which I almost did today after trying to drink a little french onion Soup, take my Vitamin, then drink water). Everyone can be a little different post op, and I was certainly hoping that I wasn't going to be one of the people with problems. If I don't take the pain meds (which taste disgusting) I don't drink. I do wish you a lot of luck Kel San! I definitely wont' say I regret it because I have so much support and people helping me through the difficult times, but it is certainly a lot harder than I expected. I can say that after the swelling that I weighed in today 7 lbs lighter, which definitely feels nice. And Indigo, absolutely the smell thing is a bit off. I'm lucky in a way that nothing smells bad (except the liquid percocet) but at the same time everything smelling good is really hard to deal with. For example, tonight we have crock pot pot roast and veggies, and all I want to do is break up a piece of potato and carrot and just try to eat them. The best part of it all I guess is knowing that it's not that you shouldn't eat something, it's that you can't. The punishment effect is what I needed, and I know that if being retrained to eat like a newborn is what it takes, I'll take it.
