The deed is done! 5 days out from getting my new tum!
Sep 19, 2011
Well hello!I am feeling better and better as each day passes! I had my surgery on the 14Th, it was a textbook procedure, no complications according to the doc. He did say that I had more muscle than most patients so I would more than likely have a lot more "discomfort". I hate that word! Just say pain. And where did this so called muscle come from? Really!? Well I did have a decent amount of pain and was sick to my stomach (but thank GOD didn't puke) that first day but slept through most of it and because I was sleeping I couldn't press my pain button that administers morphine- so then I'd have pain again. Eww. Thursday was fine. I barely hit the pain pump and felt a lot better. It was definitely tolerable though I must say. Friday I was released, normally I wouldn't have been until Saturday, but the Dr. said I was fine to go home.
I stayed at my parents for a couple days. For some strange reason, whenever they were cooking food it felt SO good. I would go from feeling a little nauseous to feeling just fine at the smells of things cooking. I have also REALLY enjoyed watching others eat and smelling the food. It's really odd. I don't envy them at all or feel like having it myself, not in the least, I feel permanently full. It's so weird. If I have a sip of water I feel sooo full. It's the weirdest thing to me and makes me excited to think that I am full so fast! I know that part of this is just the recent surgery because of the shock to the body, inflammation etc, but I am hoping that it's a small sign of being full fast in the future.
I get slight cramping in my stomach sometimes and I don't know if it's hunger or ? I would imagine it is as I haven't eaten anything in almost a week. The doc said that I can have creamy soups and protein powder mixed however, but it's made me sick every time I try to get it down. I'm just going to take it easy and stay on the broth and sugar free juice/Popsicles. My stomach incisions are still sore - especially the big one and the one in my belly button. Ewwy.
Another weird thing is that I have been dreaming of stuffing my face every night with stuff I shouldn't have and then feeling this intense fear from filling myself. Last night it was some type of mac & cheese Why? I rarely even ate that before surgery! I don't miss food or anything like that! I think it's that fear of blowing up my tiny stomach or something.
I can't wait for all of this to be a distant memory and start feeling normal, go to the gym etc. I am so dang bored sitting at home! Ugh! But I am too sore to take myself somewhere and walk around. I think tomorrow I will take myself to the beach in the morning even if I can only make it to the shore and back slowly.
That's about it for now!
