1 Week Post Op

May 01, 2013

Well I am back and happy to be on the other side of the bench. I had a great hospital stay experience and they all took wonderful care of me. It was painful for me and I have had many surgeries but with determination and help from my Lord I was able to move forward. I noticed that I felt better everyday. I walked the halls and sat up in my chair on a daily basis. On the 3 rd day of my stay I had to eat pureed foods before I left the hospital. They served me 1 oz of pureed fish, potatoes and spinach. I could only eat a little of it and that felt so weird to me. I walk all day to help ease the gas so I can feel better. I now drink protein shakes, Powerade Zero, Vitamin Water, Crystal Light and Water. I eat pureed Hash, Potatoes, Egg, and Chili. Yesterday was my first day eating chili and my pouch did not like it at all. My stomach hurt me all night until I got up this morning. I feel so much better so I will do just liquids today. I am learning to listen to my pouch and follow directions. I have noticed that I continually look at food ideas for later when I can eat again. I want to learn how to cook healthy for my pouch and weightloss. Oh, I almost forgot to add that I have lost 19 lbs.
