One Week Post Op Update

Jan 06, 2011

Surgery has come and gone and at times it's still a bit surreal. My surgery experice was a bit of torture (as I hate hosptitals and am sensative to almost every pain medication they could give me) But once out of the hospital and in my comfy bed at home....things have been rather good. I'm a week and one day post op...and I'm finally beginning to eat and drink a bit more. This is exciting to me, because I know the body needs SOME nutrients.

The hardest things I've been going through as of this week have been: buyers remorse....did I really do this to myself? but that psychology degree has come in handy and I can reason through that it WAS the right decision for my health.

I'm also quite wishy washy mentally, and I think tha'ts mostly the release of hormones in my fat that's going away. I want my mommy, I want cuddles from my husband...but the only person willing to cuddle is my four year old. So I've had this weird sadness and feelings of isolation. I've also been having nightmares (maybe because of all the changes) so that's been a bit hard to deal with too.....my hubby is just not cuddle at all...I think maybe he doesn't want to hurt me?

I'm still running a very low grade temp every day or two.....it's like 99.3-100.1 but the doctor says not to be concerned...if it's still there next week then I wil make it my doctors concern.

I'm starting to feel glad I did this...but can't wait to get back to real food...the cucumber on my daughters dinner plate looked so good tonight....as well as avadado...and beans and rice......
