Hello everyone - new postop here
Hi everybody!!
I am finally back home. I came home yesterday.I thougth it was kinda
funny that I had my wls on “FAT TUESDAY” LOL I’ve been doing good.
Tuesday after I woke, I had to have been in the most pain I’ve been in
in my life…lol But it was all good once to medicine finally started
to kick in. I was up and walking Tuesday night. I had my swallow test
the next day and everything was fine. Started liquids…why didn’t
someone tell me that my mouth would be so DRY…LOL I think I would
have sold my first born for some ice chips that first night. But
everyone says I am progressing well. I’ve only needed my pain meds
once today, that pain is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I
think I am letting myself go to long with out eating, because I find
that I get dizzy and nasueous(SP) but am fine after i have some broth.
My mom was a GODSEND, I couldn’t have done it without her. I came
home yesterday and started on broth and water and gatorade. Today I
had a SERIOUS problem with being bloated and gas-y. Did anyone have
this probelm and if so any suggestions on what to do about it. It got
to the point where it was painful to move I was sooo bloated. I am
going to the bathroom just fine, I guess so I don’t know what it
is…. I wanted to say thanks for all the kind words of encouragement
before I went in. I really appreciated it. I am on the other side and
loving it! So when can i start with the protein shakes? I got a box
from vitalady today and I can’t wait.!!
xoxoxo,
Monique
