Friday surgery day Feb 24, 2006 11 AM ((((189 LB.))))
3:30 in my room to rest. Boy do I need it!
Pain in tummy pretty bad, gas, I am sure! (Ice chips yummy!)
Vitals checked frequently, too Frequently!
4:30 Was able to pee with some coaxing...very.. slow.. intermitent stream
7:30 Tried to walk outside the room-
Not far before I threw up nearly hitting passersby how rude am I??
9:00 pm Sent husband home for his stint at visiting is not restful for me.
Told I would be released tomorrow.Vicodin all day. Potassium drip.(LOW)
Saturday Feb 25,2006 ((((184 lbs???)))):faint:
8:00 am Walked a little to dump gas. Not successful!:tired
Need to say how physical this surgery seemed. I felt like every muscle in my body had been used and abused. From neck to my calves. It felt as if I had been mugged and beaten. I could not imagine why?...The GAS ... If I didn't mention this I would be cruelly:omg: misleading you>>>
The feet compressor doobies kept me awake all night. Didn't know I
didn't have to have them on.
11:00 am Dumped the doobies and was urged
to walk and I did (Lots). Not a problem!
No gas came..
2:30 Pm Released to go home. Prescriptions faxed to drug store (closing 3:00 PM)
Husband on the way but live 20 miles from the hospital.
3:40 Drugstore drives over to hospital to deliver the prescriptions.
3:50 On the way home. Bumpy road unpleasant! Vicodin???
5:00 pain...did I mention gas pain? all night long...Pain...gas! Gas-X, Vicodin
Sunday, Feb.26
8:00 am through the day Gas pain but a little less than before!Taking all liquid meds, vitamins and smaller pills.
1:00PM visitors came to the house and I announced my surgery had been done. Only inlaws so not too judgemental....My family (only my kids and hubby know)<<>
2:00 excused myself to go rest...More Gas-X
3:00 Sent them all to the only restaurant in town for dinner. That is not at all unusual since being fat has made it not fun to be in a restaurant anyway...Was nice to not have to go with them and suffer. Vicodin, Gas-X
4:30 to 7:00 restless and not really hungry.Gas-X
8:30 to bed for rest _Gas-X, Prevacid, other meds as prescribed.
Monday Feb, 27 3:30am. Pain is greatly reduced suddenly...Feel I could do anything. Told my husband I could probably go to work if I had a job...Well, almost anything! Gas is moving, urine is normal, BM not so much...nothing since last Thursday before surgery..
Daytime....Rested alot. drank coffee, tea, protein shakes added P-Nut butter, chicken cream soup(strained) No lumps...Gas is moving! albeit
slow. My tummy let me know when...was enough.
Reassured my husband I was doing Fine. Evening. Hunger hitting. Feel weak and needy....Took an hour nap 4 to 5 PM. Watched TV drank my fluids...still needy!
8:30 Back to bed Vicodin, meds, Gas-X, all the scripts.
Tuesday Feb.28. Slept pretty well until 10:30 am
Up to make todays delites. SF jello (one box)... using half cup water. Other half with SF applesauce instead of the water Plus Added Non-fat Dry milk (DRY) and stirred thoroughly....Dissolved..Yeah...Tomorrows. Delites!:hungry:
12:15 Drinking Propel...Writing Journal..Not much to report except that about 10:00 am I had my first BM. A little crampy but tolerable and Lots of it. Where did that come from...??? (TMI) but fluid to solid/mix..
I don't work outside the home so good luck to those who do.:bored
One day at a time!
