Monday I will be 4 weeks out and I'm nauseated and even occasional vomiting. I'm so sick I cannot even leave the house. I'm much sicker than right after the surgery. Meds do not seem to help and that's if I can get them. I know I'm not drinking or eating enough, but I just can't!! I so sick I'm beginning to be sorry that I had surgery. I need to return to work in 2 weeks and cannot even imagine how that is going to happen. Will I ever feel better again?!!!

I am also 9 days out and have had enough of protien shakes and water to last a lifetime!! I have decided that this is more about aversion therapy than surgery. I'm so sick of putting nasty-tasting things in my mouth, I would rather just not eat at all. However, last night I was hungry. Since I was given the okay to eat cream soups this week (not potatoe or corn) and since I'm a vegetarian, I decided to make a little something else. I make split pea soup. I ate about 3 oz. and it was the best thing I have ever eaten in my life. I'm ready to get to the soft diet and leave these nasty shakes behind!!!
