My very first blog 18 days post-op

Dec 21, 2008

Okay, so I am not a big fan of sitting on the computer giving out what I feel are my most inner thoughts, but after the last few days I have had I think it is time to reach out to some of my peeps.  I guess I will begin at the hospital for those of you considering this surgery without any classes like I did.  The only horror of it all was I am allergic to anethesia and the pain meds they gave me so i was EXTREMELY sick the entire first night.  the second day was better once they changed my pain meds and the anesthesia wore off.  On day 3 I wanted to get out of bed.  To me it was better to be up and moving than sitting in that bed.  I was released on day 4 no problems, went to my 1 week check up ( hoping he would let me eat more than popcicles and jello) but had to wait.  So far so good walking was good, I was feeling good then I began my soft foods.  First day I had cream of wheat and had no trouble. Then I tried tuna, and the vomiting started.  okay scratch tuna, back to cream of wheat, vomitied that too.  But whats worse is the pain I feel every single time I put anything in my mouth, it takes my breath away.  Needess to say I am back on liquids which is the only thing I can tolerate barely.  Even water makes my stomach hurt.  Thankfully tomorrow is Monday and I will call the surgeon.  In the meantime anyone else have this problem?
