Graduated
May 31, 2010
Yup, big hoorah...Graduated to full liquids. How recent bandsters have not gone homicial is especially interesting to me! So I went to the vitamin shoppe and got some Isopure protein mix and liquid vitamins. The protein powder is pretty yum because its dutch chocolate...really reminded me of hot chocolate. What I didn't take into consideration is the fact that I shouldn't rush it. I had about 2-3 oz in one sitting (15min apart of course), but when it finally settled in, I felt the world shift. I was light headed, nauseous, fatigued, and needed my bed asap. I layed there for about 2 hrs and slept for another 2-3 hrs. I am used to my need for naps, but my goodness it was bad. 1 oz at a time I guess. I also had cream of chicken...strained so no chicken pieces would be in it...YUMMO! I was only able to tolerate 1 oz, but it filled me up for quite some time. Apple sauce is tolerated well. Will try that in the morning again.Going to see the doctor tomorrow, so I'm hoping for clearance for pudding, pool, and some other things. I hope he doesn't think I'm a freakin lepar for all the different rashes I have. They aren't gross, but they aren't pretty either. I'm a tiny bit itchy, but not suffering like I was....F'n ADHESIVES! I look so weird without a shirt on. I'm glad I married a paramedic because he deals with a lot of crap lol. Ok, I knew he was a saint after what he had to do for me after my c-section. I really did marry a prince!
My port site is a pain in the @$$! I hate the fact that I need to strectch out and try to breathe again. The 2 incisions are still tender and annoying, but again...NOTHING like last week. I can't believe I survived a week of clear liquid torture. I wish we can fast fwd to a more comfortable time. But I'm starting to wonder if it exists.
I was pretty active today. I wish it wasn't a sauna outside, maybe I wouldn't feel so crappy. We shopped for a while this afternoon and then we took a walk to the park, played, and walked back. Usually this type of walk would not phase me, but I truly struggled. WTF??? Why am I struggling this bad to walk? I am seriously contemplating meeting Craig at the gym tomorrow and trying the treadmill. Maybe if I'm in a cool environment I won't feel like death is coming for me.
I know this is gross, but I'm relieved...finally pooped. It wasn't much, but I'm glad I'm able to. Its kinda scary wondering if you are slowly turning septic bc your bowels are on vacation!
So thats it...hoping for a better day tomorrow.
