I was realeased from the hospita after 2 nights. My second day was the absolute worst! I couldn't eat, drink ir walk due to all the nausea! I was given everything for nausea!! The 3rd day I was well enough and drinking enough fluids to be released. I am still struggling to drink enough and get a substantial amount of food dowm...however, oatmeal and grits have become my best friends! My incision area is sore and I can not wait to get my staples removed. I think the absolute worst thing in the hospital was having my drain removed! It wasn't awful but it was weird and uncomfortable! Please share what you all are eating drinking at this phase. My daily staples are usually yogurt, cream soups, oatmeal and grits. As far as drinks go, I love mInute Maid light raspberry lemonade and crystal light. I try to choke down the protein shakes, but I just can't!!!
I went to mvies today with my husband and resisted my first bag of movie theater popcorn! It smelled so god...but it was easier than i thought to just say NO! It also helps to eat before going "tempting" places because once I'm full, nothing else is getting down!
Also, are any of you feeling sharp pains as food enters your belly? I can feel the moment that food has enteed into my stomach. The pain is getting better but I still feel that sensation. I also cannot tolerate cold liquids very well.
