Need a bit of guidance

Hey fellow sleevers! I just had my surgery on Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013. So I am three days out from surgery.

I did amazingly well in the hospital. I was up and walking with no problems right away. I ate all of my Jello and broth, and drank tons of Water no problems.

Well, it's day three, I've been home since Thursday and I am having some issues. I can't seem to stomach anything at all except water. I have been dumping everything else I take in. I started getting nauseated this afternoon and it hasn't gone away. Also, I've been having this really weird constriction of my diaphragm, almost like hiccups, but not quite the same. Oddly I feel something that kinda seems like hunger too.

I guess it could just be a bad day, but I am curious if anyone else has dealt with these symptoms in the first few days post surgery. What should I be expecting over the next few days? It's not awful, it's just not expected and a bit uncomfortable. Any advice is much appreciated.

Oh, and I'm curious how long it took for everyone to have their stomach swelling go away and start losing weight?

I'm bored and sick of TV already, so my mind is working overtime :-p On the positive side though I've come up with some awesome recipes to try out and share.

Thanks guys!!

Ok, ok, slow down. No gulping. Sip sip sip. I can do this. Even if I do have the patience of a gnat. Do gnats have patience?
