Drink your water!
by bellinghamboy on 09-06-2013 at 02:21 PM
No one tells you this: You bloat after surgery. I gained 18lbs. I thought my skin was going to burst. No one told me I looked like the stay puft marshmallow guy. (they were being nice)
It took a week for that water to disappear - and in that time I took the opportunity to ignore what I was told and to significantly curtail my water intake. Move ahead to week 1.75
TMI Warning! Stop reading it you're averse to potty stories!
Potty emergency at 2am. I decide that it's been

I've returned to work. It hasn't been as bad as I had expected it to be. I am super fatigued though. No more mid-day naps for me! I am, like everyone else, learning to live with the changes made by surgery. New drinking techniques, new eating techniques, and the repercussions of eating the wrong thing.

Had a little burp in the insurance yesterday. Call: You're not covered! Whoa! Calls to COBRA provider, insurance company. OOPS: We had the wrong number - You're covered! Now pay us! WTF?
Ate a whole loaf of bread, and pooped in the refrigerator yesterday. I wasn't even mad. (Truth: loaf of bread; Lie: refrigerator incident)
I am going under tomorrow. Appointment is at 1030..thinking maybe 12ish? Got my meds, slippers, new PJs and my vitamins.

Grumpy? Me?

Cutting out the caffeine at the same time I cut out almost all forms of nourishment, while a week away from surgery was probably a bad idea.
The caffeine withdrawal lasted three migraine inducing days - last time I did this, I only remember it lasting one day - and I have been cutting back. It shouldn't have been this bad but it was. I feel the pain of those that have tried to get off some serious substances! I am glad that is done.
Eating, or for that matter, starving
