Hard day today



Recommended Posts

Today has been a terrible day. I had my surgery on 3/9 and this weekend I went to a cat show where my husband and were showing one of our cats. It was local but it involves a lot of walking, though my husband did most of the work and I mostly stayed sitting down at our cage and just walked to rings when my cat was being judged. It was two days and it really took a lot out of me, it is the most activity I have done since surgery.

The problem is my allergies decided to flare up this weekend too so yesterday and today I have had a horrible scratchy throat and it is making the thought of eating sound even more gross then it normally is. The throat is making everything taste off more than usual and making it hard to drink today. I also have a pain in the left side of my back that sort of feels like gas pain and hurts when I breath too deeply, but I am not sure if it's gas or just pain from doing too much yesterday. I almost feel worse today that a couple days after surgery.

Sorry to be so negative, I just needed to vent, over my horrible day, hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

Your not being negative, your hurting and need some advice. . the pain is gas. . .walking and some Gas-X can help that. . . if you don't feel like eating, don't, just make sure you sip Water and stuff because you don't want to dehydrate. . . nice hot tea will help (it does me) . . . but don't dehydrate and take your allergy meds. . . good luck. . this too shall pass :)

Feel better! And I'm jealous you got to go to a cat show! What breed is your cat?

I actually breed Bengal cats. We show all over the southeast. We only showed one this weekend because I could not really help. I also have a Siberian kitten that I will be showing soon. There are TICA cats shows all over, you should go to one. The cats hated being kicked out of the bedroom after my surgery.

My husband bought me an awesome thermos that keeps stuff hot or cold for 24 hours so I made a batch of hot tea to keep by my bed. Ithink the pain is gas too, how long will this gas last, it feels like it will never go away. I did eat an egg, but all my drainage made it taste gross.

It really depends on each person, but i found that the more i moved around and stretched and so on and took the Gas X it really helped. . I'm going to say that it should be lessening each day and soon be gone, just move more so that it can absorb ok. . . keep drinking and you'll be ok. . . don't let your pee get dark, make sure it stays a clearish color. . . cyberhugs to you! you'll be ok

My allergies kicked in also. I have a sinus drip and it's making me cough too. I was just sleeved 3/12! ooch! I was wondering if I can take any thing to stop this drip. I still am very sensitive to anything new added to my intake.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
