March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"

[one day at a time 30]

I am two weeks out and get hungry. Starving actually. The thing is, if you get enough Protein and fluids, one should eat only three times a day. And, they are VERY small meals.

I'm officially 24 hours out of surgery. My first 24 was pretty miserable due to the gas pains. Pain causes nausea. I feel much better now. Still a little discomfort, but otherwise good. It all made it so much better. because my surgeon is one foxy dude. :-) lol lol

Are you drinking while you eat? That's rule number one for me. I'm not to drink for half an hour before during or sixty minutes after eating.

My rule: 30 minutes before or after and yep, I follow this rule. I was just saying that yes, I do get hungry when it's time to eat. I did not at first, but do know.

I'm having trouble keeping anything down- including meds. I'm 2 days post op. yesterday I did ok with liquids but today not so much. Anybody else?

Anyone's hair on their head starting to feel a little course? My hair and teeth feel funny....I just showered and scrubbed my hair twice with cleansing Shampoo. I expect it to fall out but not feel like crapola...

I did have trouble the first 2 days but they gave me a prescription for Zofran and it made a huge difference...
