6 days Post...

I think I overdid it yesterday. I felt ok while out at work, and luckily my job is rather easy at a desk. But I was up in the night not well. I was very cold...and shivery. I never got sick, but did just now. I felt ok when I woke up today but I feel weak now. It might just be because of the 'trauma' that the body is going through. I can't imagine this is 'easy' on our bodies! I decided to stay home today and work and maybe for a few more days. The Dr that saw me in the hospital thought I would take at least 2 weeks off of work! I was surprised by that, but now I understand. I think it is a daily thing and one should be prepared to have certain days that you just need to stay home and rest.

My food intake is so small! For instance, this morning all I had was 1/2 c of Boost protein drink. I measure everything out because I am not fully aware of how much is 'too much' yet in my body. I then had my daily vitamin and calcium, which is what put me over the edge. I am not 100% sure when we are to start taking those, but I'm pretty sure I'm not ready yet. I also seem to have a lot of air in my stomach still. When I do get sick, it is more of air pockets that seem to come out.

I just got a small glass of ice water and I'm hoping to sip on that for a while, so far 2 small sips and it is staying down. Yeah!

Well, it is a rainy day here so a good one to hang out in the house...I have decided what food I will eat though when I can be back on solids! 1 crabmeat sushi roll! My husband had some last night and I just craved them! They are my favorite and I told him although I will probably only handle one, that is what I want for my treat!
