Day 4 update 7/17/10

I was a little uncomfortable yesterday. I was burping constantly, a bit nauseous at time, and my legs and ankles were swollen. I called the surgeon and he said the swelling was normal after a surgery, and just to keep walking around, and if it didn't clear up within a few days, or if there was pain that went with it, to call him back.

Day four - I'm not burping constantly any more, and the swelling in my legs/ankles has gone way down. Today is the first day of full liquids, and also is the first sense of feeling how much the pouch will hold. I have a 2oz medicine cup that I pour my full liquids in so I don't accidentally overdo it. I can have about 3 and a half oz before I get a pain signaling me to stop. Now I know why they say stop BEFORE you are are full lol. I guess 3 oz for full liquids is my limit. Clears, I can sip constantly. I'll be on full liquids for 10 days.
