4 days post op...1-30-2010

well, here i am 4 days post op. bloated like a pufferfish, but down a few lbs! very sore, but not sorry that i made the decision to have gastric bypass.

just a few things that they dont really tell you about how you feel after surgery...

one, gas, you can literally hear it bubbling in your stomach. i should of felt more warned when i saw the ads for charcoal panty liners before i had the surgery.
two, of said gas...i was advised by the p.a that if it feels like you are going to expel gas, beware, that might not be the ONLY thing that comes out. so greeeeaaat, i am really looking forward to that!
three, eating is very hard. never in my life, have i had an issue eating food. getting more than an ounce or two of liquid right now is very hard. i feel like a lump in my chest if i drink more than i should. i should already expect this, they do warn you about that part, but until you live it, you dont know. taking teeny tiny bites is very hard when you are so used to shoveling food in.


i am not quite ready to disclose my weight, maybe more towards the end.
