5 days Post OP

I drove for the first time today. Yes I was still on some pain medication but I was fine. I just went to pick up my kindergarten boy :)

Calcium Chews

Oh my goodness! These are the most delicious calcium chews I have ever eaten! They are not chalky at all, they are smooth and taste like rich brownie bites! I got them from celebrate vitamins.

Tea is my new BFF

 

I never in my life thought I would go to Starbucks and order TEA! I never really even liked TEA, I have always been more of an iced coffee or white chocolate peppermint mocha type of girl....but i guess that is what got me in trouble in the first place. It is the start of a whole new life for me in more ways then I ever counted on. 

4 Days POST-OP and 5lbs. down!

Okay today is Sunday (Superbowl Sunday) February 2nd and I am finally feeling better today. Do not get me wrong here it still hurts like hell when I swallow anything that is not hot tea or hot broth but it is getting better. I got to start FULL liquids today and I had one ounce of Greek yogurt this morning for breakfast, so far so good. It is hard to get my liquids in because every sip hurts. The good news is I weigh 187 lbs already! I went from 192 on surgery day to 187! That is five pounds down! I really hope I can feel better soon and it will not hurt to eat.

Oh another thing is that food that people are eating (Superbowl Food) smells good looks good but there is no way in hell I would consider putting it in my mouth because of the pain I am sure it would cause. So I guess that is a good thing plus I am not hungry anyway. That is all for now. Wish me luck that tomorrow is better! I really need to get back to work on Tuesday ....

I am home!

I had to spend an extra day in the hospital because I was not able to hold things down plus my pain was out of control! But I am home. It hurts to eat or drink the best way to describe it is my stomach feels like a slug getting salt poured on it , that freaks out in pain whenever I take a sip of anything. I am starting to get accustomed to this weird sensation.
By the looks of my pictures I am sure you can tell I feel horrible...still.
