Yesterday was not pretty

Yesterday was bad.  I am on the pureed foods, but apparently I cant handle rice.  I had just a teensy amount with broccoli, chicken, and watered down with vegetable broth.  I had about a half cup and I knew something wasn't right. this was about noon.  by 4 pm, I STILL felt full and nausea was setting in.  By 6 I was full on throwing up.  eeeew.

The stomach pains kept on and throwing up kept on until about 11 pm.  I wished to just be able to go to sleep.  Sleep came, and this morning I was ok. Derek called Dr. Davis, and he said something got stuck in the pouch.  eeeew.

Im back on liquid foods for a couple of days, and to tell the truth, I don't want to go back to pureed now.  No way.  I'll eat soup.  Thanks.

Learning when to stop.

I'm still doing well.  I had my checkup and they put me on pureed foods, whish is pretty much anything I want to eat as long as it can be put through a blender.  I am actually liking this.  I didn't think I would.  The big problem I am having is when to stop eating.   Its almost like there is a delay in the feeling of being full and actually being full so I need to stop a little before I feel I need to absolutely do so. 

This makes me worry because my doctor said I should be eating 5 meals a day...  there is no way I'm doing that.  Im barely getting in 3 meals of I'd say about 3/4 of a cup at a time.  I am also in no way drinking enough.  I need to work on this too.

Post op fun!

Well, everything went smoothly and I'm still kickin!

I have been home a couple of days and I have been really sore, but not sore like sharp pain but sore like I did 100000 situps.  My whole body is sore too,  I have no idea why. 

I'm learning (by mistake) that sugar is not my friend.  It causes dizziness and just an uneasy feeling.  Also I need to eat even stuff like grits slow.  That was unpleasant. 

I'm going to take it easy today and watch Game of Thrones.  Tomorrow I will go see my Dr. and start a little bit of exercising.  Maybe walk a couple of blocks to take my Mini-Me to the park.  I'm going to start 3 days of cardio and 3 days of strength when I get the all clear.  There's no way I can do strength right now...  WAY too sore.  Maybe my arms or something so I can feel like I accomplished the task  :) 

Anyway, I'm doing well and thats all for now!
