It Gets Better!

[JordannChristina 32]

Two days post-op and I'm feeling pretty good!

Of course, there is still some discomfort, and the soreness gets pretty bad but other than that, it could be a lot worse.

After surgery, I was counting the minutes till the pain went away, and little by little, it does go away.

I noticed that when I drink a bit too much, my body does a quick hiccup, which HURTS and its a sign to stop. So far, I've had broth, Water, crystal light, and sugar free popsicles. Haven't had any Jello yet, but I never really liked Jello. Might try that tomorrow.

My mouth is definitely missing all the foods (junk) I was eating before this surgery. I found myself biting at my nails today (which I NEVER do) and I realized what a habit my horrible diet was. Not only did I eat horrible foods, but I ate them constantly. So I feel like I need to replace my habit, but with something healthy. I'm still trying to figure that part out, instead of developing a nasty nail biting habit. I have no intention of cheating on my specific diet, but I did smell some Tostito chips today, and my mind wanted them so badly. My stomach, however, said no way. I know it will take some time to get all of my body on one sync and schedule, so I'll have to go through this withdrawal carefully.

I plan on weighing myself tomorrow! I cant wait to see the results! Even if it's not much, I've gotten this far, so it's only a matter of time!

Hope everyone is doing well

Hi Jordann,

Congratulations! You have a great attitude. I'll be sleeved in about 1 month and I'm so worried about my reaction to it -- sickness, soreness, etc. I've also been concerned about what to do with my time since I won't be spending it eating! I used to love doing model kits when I was a kid (all kinds of model kits -- some really cool ones, too). I think I will try that again, or maybe something really girlie, like needlepoint. There has to be so many things we can do other than eat to fill our time!

Good luck!
