I had serious compliications after my surgey, something they should have caught. This caused an extra month from work and a serious emotional toll on my family. I went to two followup appts. and they weren't very helpful or sympathetic. They didn't pick up on the problem then either. It took an ER visit.
When I drink I feel full and sick, and this is just after two or three small swallows. So water and protein shakes are hard to get down and take forever. I'm not past the pureed foods. Anytime I try to eat real food (still soft food recommended for this stage) I get hot and nauseous, so I go back to teas.'s of yogurt and soup. Sweets are out of the question even sugar free tastes to sweet(even shakes). I don't feel hungry just thirsty. I don't know if thats good or bad.
I try to take vitamins but those make me sick to. I take nexium and use papay enzyme pills when I try to eat regular foods. Sometimes, I feel like someone kicked me on my right side. I rarely go to the bathroom and use drugstore "assistance" regularly.
I've lost a good amount of weight(starvation?) so i'm holding on to that. It's a great distraction to see peoples reactions to the weight loss, and it's fun fitting the skinny clothes in the back of the closet.
I'm trying to stay focused and positive that this will pass. Mainly because you guys say it will. I should go back to my Dr. but i don't trust or like them right now. So i'm looking for a lawyer and a new Dr.
Would I do it again ? Under normal circumstances, Yes.
