Well, 10 days post op. I'm doing well, feeling well. My Incisions are looking perfect and I don't seem to be having any complications. I feel fine and we took a 2 day trip to San Antonio where we waked and walked and walked... And I did great. I'm still having some tummy Cramping /spasms I guess... It's a whole new learning experience figuring out your new stomach.
Can't eat much... Sometimes I try to eat thinking "well, this is so much less than I would normally eat" because it really is, but I still can't finish... It helps to remind myself my new stomach can only handle 2-3 Oz at a time.
It's been difficult to get in my protein and my fluids... And sometimes I feel like I'm mourning the loss of food... I know I'll be able to eat again but sometimes I'm sad I can't, but then I find myself feeling guilty for thinking that way too... Because duh, why else did I have the surgery... Double edged sword.
It'll get easier.
