POD #4

Mar 15, 2014

I called in the nausea issue yesterday and was placed on a regular schedule of oral Zorfran. It is better. It is really difficult to keep up with fluid intake tho. I feel distended after a couple sips. Everything has a different taste to it, even water. So I tried sugarless popsickle - too strong tasting - also jello (same). Boring protein shakes, but I try and keep up.

Anyway, I followed preop diet for 2 weeks (puréed type) and was told the actual surgery time was only 45-50 minutes and my stomach and liver were easily manipulated to complete the procedure! I only wish recovery was easier. Some of you hardly reported any issues and even went back to work after a few days! Definitely not my situation. I have good blood pressure (112/74), but fatigue easily on walking.

i can't wait to heal up and get over this period. I long for naps and escape this discomfort whenever I can. Clinic visit is in 2 days.
