Day 4 Post Op: Liquids, liquids, liquids

I’m feeling infinitely better today. I’ve only had to take pain medication once, and that was after going for a nice walk with my husband outside. I did get a little light-headed during the walk, but that’s not so strange considering I’ve only had around 1,000 calories in the last 5 days. Maybe not even that many.

My stomach still doesn’t tolerate water lately, which is apparently fairly common. I am able to get protein shakes down just fine and it turns out my new tummy loves chicken broth! I was able to drink 8oz of chicken broth before the broth got cold. Pretty awesome.

My weight loss program director called to check on me this afternoon and he said that I’m progressing as expected, I just have to make sure I’m getting enough fluids. I did try to eat my Opurity chewable multi-vitamin today but that didn’t go very well. I got very flushed and felt like vomiting. It stayed down, but I think I’m going to hold off on trying that again for a little bit.

Anyway, there is nothing else new to report. Feeling pretty good!
