Well I cant believe I did this !!!!!!!!!! I dont want to freak any one out, but it was the worst pain I ever felt post op for about 10 minutes than thats it ? KIND OF WIERD. The surgery is no joke , but after that waking up bs was over with and the nurses figuered out what to give me the pain part was kind of non existant. After day one they take the auto pump away lol. But honestly you dont need any more or at least I didnt .I use the percocets to sleep at night thats about it, not for pain. On to day two the dreaded test, I had no trouble with that, the consistancy of liquid is gross but doable so off to liquids, Liquids went well I passed so far so good next the tray of pureed foods no go I got so nauseous of course I started to cry , lol cant help it hate to puke but the nurses taught me a trick when you feel nauseous smell an alcahol prep and it kills it right there. So instead of going home they keep me one extra day. At 300am in the middle of nowhere I decide to sip a medicine cup of water and bam nausea again so I cried again lol but I didnt vomit. and day three tried more pureed foods and did better. So today is day 4 I am proud of myself I drank all day hit my 65 ounces had an entire can of tomato soup at one time, then I dont want to sound gross right to the camode. Everything I have goes right through me , but no complaints , had over 40 grams of protein and wound up back in the freakin ER. My leg blew up and was killing me it turns out its a superficial clot not the kind that can kill you so they say , hope not . Its been quite a few days my god im glad its done. does anyone out there think its wierd I can drink so much. Its mostly liquids I take in the pureed food is like a teaspoon and a half at a time but idn, any input would be much appreciated.

HAVING TROUBLE
· belladona · 06/04/2013 23:32
I have read this site over and over and I read blogs about every aspect of this journey so you would think I know what to expect?? Today is my first days on liquids, ok I got this right? I have read about everyone and I know its gonna suck and think that I am so prepared. Being that I quit smoking cigarettes not the fake cigarettes my taste buds are on high alert I taste everything . Well I go to my shake today the one that meets the criteria and guess what I cant drink it!! I am 45 years old with a rock solid stomach and this freakin shake took an hour to go down it was just soooo bad. I am panicking it is now 7:30 and I am babysitting another at least trying and the same it just tastes so bad. So now I am supposed to eat 4 of these a day OMG how? Then I figuered I would take a break and move to chicken broth , well it smelled great when I tasted it more gag refluxes like before its low sodium and tastes like cardboard. Well needless to say I m not a chiuld as bad as this post may sound Im frustrated at myself and had to put salt into the saltless chicken broth. At least after the surgery I start with mushy puree foods something to look forward too. OK so today is day one and so far i have had 320 calories how am I supposed to do this . Im so disappointed in myself, and I just needed the 5 minutes to vent.
