3 Week Surgiversary!

I'm officially 3 weeks post-op. Things have been a little crazy. I don't know what happened, but things started going downhill a few days ago. I've felt really nauseous and nothing sounds good. Everything has been tasting bad, from water to crystal light to eggs and deli meat. Ugh!

It's been tough getting in my minimum 64oz. liquids a day, but I'm doing it anyway.

I've been taking my nausea medication about every day now. I should probably get a refill soon just so I'm prepared.

I seemed to turn a corner for today, but I don't know if it will last. I was able to get down ice water, which hasn't been easy. I did a "no-no" and had egg drop soup for dinner. I figured I'll just count it as being a protein shake or something. It's really just water and egg, so it probably counts towards my liquids too.

A few hours later I seemed to be hungry again. I had some chicken thigh pieces that I had baked in a cream of chicken soup and water. It was really moist and I had no problem getting it down or keeping it down.

I've heard many stories about people overeating, not chewing well enough, taking too big of bites, etc. These people usually end up worshipping the porcelain gods, but I haven't experienced that. I'm so thankful!

My wounds are still healing up nicely. A couple of them still have some Dermabond on them and I can definitely feel my internal stitches.

I think I'm going to back off the scale for a while. Since I watch it every day, it's not moving. I hate that and get frustrated. I'm stuck at -56 lbs. and I'm ready to lose more weight. The rapid weight loss has caused me to have a period. This isn't convenient for me at all. I have the Mirena IUD and swear by it. I've never had a full blown period with that thing in until now. Ugh!!! So, I'm probably bloated, retaining water, and all the other great stuff that goes along with it. And since there's not much food going in me, there's not much coming out. I seriously think it's been a week. Not that I enjoy that part of my life, but it was always nice to feel regular. Sorry if this is grossing anyone out, but that's the world of blogging for ya.

I hope tomorrow is a great day. I need to get in my exercise, fluids, and protein. The laundry is also calling my name. I'm a little confused about the situation because I probably won't be wearing half the clothes that are in my laundry basket ever again. I hate to waste the money cleaning the stuff. Hmmm... I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Peace out!
