First Day Home. Not As I Planned.



Recommended Posts

Today was my first day home. I planned on staying with my mom and sleeping as much as I wanted and having lots of quiet. Not so much. I am with my mom but so are my kids so no napping and no quiet. But of course I'm happy to be with them an they like seeing that mommy is ok. I just don't like taking my pain pills around them and being all goofy. I had alot of scarring on the right side which is where most of it was done and it hurts alot.

Another challenge is drinking. I will have to try much harder tomorrow but I barely drank 20 oz all day maybe less. I just can't drink. Can't imagine wanting to eat anytime soon!

I'm also worried about my pouch...during the barium swallow they all pointed to something and said "narrow" like it shouldn't have been. Any clue what this could mean?

Make sure u concentrate on drinking every few minutes arround 5minutes, small zips, i used a straw to drink from. u will get dehydrated if u dont drink enough. its not a funny thing. i know i did get dehydrated, felt dizzy tired and breathless, had to go to hospital for that.

Good luck

I went to back the e.r. 6 days after I was release for dehydration. NOT A GOOD FEELING.

I was told that straws are strictly taboo - for life. You take in air which can be painful and potentially stretch the pouch. I'd check with your doctor before using a straw.

I was told no straws too. Today I worked harder and probably had 30 oz plus about a half cup of broth. Will try Popsicles tomorrow but they seem like too much. No pain meds today!! I did get a nap in too! Goal for tomorrow is to really push fluids. My mom is having a pool party so there will be lots of excitement. Hopefully can be social and have more energy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
