Godzilla in the making
May 30, 2010
So I had another crazy moment today. I am off the pain meds and definitely a little more sore today. I am able to sleep laying down and on my sides, which is awesome. But I am definitely still super tired and winded when walking. Not winded like P.E winded, but just tired overall. I definitely need to increase my activity. I just wish it wasn't like a sauna outside. I need to get back in the gym. I am just not sure if I'm ready just yet.So my Godzilla moment came shortly after my wonderful mother in law flew in to help us out with Hannah. They were hungry and wanted to go out to lunch. I was so hungry I actually had them drop me off at home. They went to Red Robbin and I was so utterly jealous I wanted to cry. I can almost taste and smell their perfect delicious burgers. Then they went out of Mexican...I staye home. I woke up so cranky after my nap I thought I might turn into Godzilla and wreck havoc on an innocent city lol.
I decided since I'm nearing the end of day 6, I was going to try full liquids. I tried campbell's tomato soup and I don't think it was a wise decision. I had an ounce and an half...it made me ill. Maybe it was too acidic. I don't think it was heavy, but I felt uck after. I want to maybe try some apple sauce tomorrow. Not sure if I'm allowed pudding yet. I was to get down and dirty with that pudding lol. No...I'm not hungry at all. When you start fantasizing about FOOD, you are a food addict. And to think I used to judge other addicts lol. I'm feeling the wrath now. Its truly pathetic, but I'm being honest here! I am truly wondering how I will do with the apple sauce. Is it too heavy? I want to have one of my Special K Protein Shakes...I'm afraid.
My instructions are confusing. When I did pre-op, they said 1 wk clear liquids, 2nd wk full liquids, 3rd wk soft foods. My paper at home tells me by 1 wk after surgery, I can try mashed pototoes, cream of wheat, etc. WTF??? Even some research online is not concrete. I know someone that has been on full liquids since coming home. So whats the deal? Will it hurt me? Am I different because my surgeon or my condition? So frustrated.
I would like to think I will be a better person as soon as I have some protein in me. I am like those Diva commericals for snickers...oooo snickers...how evil. BTW did anyone else notice how many food commericals are on tv. If it wasn't for DVR, I think I would have gone Godzilla a long time ago.
Am I weak for being like this? I guess I'm just annoyed because this recovery has been anything but simple. I have the rash and marks to prove it. Only I would be allergic to freakin adhesives! GRRRR
Ok, I definitely feel better after venting =o) Til Next time!
