You may count this a the fourth day...it's Saturday night after a Wednesday surgery. I am feeling well. No pain but I took some of my medicine tonight so I wouldn't "feel" my stomach and intestines anymore today. It's a strange feeling and I'm just over it for the day.
It's kind of funny when they tell you that your stomach will be small and your meals will be small, but you need to intake 60 grams of protein and 64 oz. of fluid. They say eat only 3 meals a day and no snacking...what they don't tell you is that it will take all freaking day to eat the 3 meals and drink the fluids. It's work. I got most of my protein in today and a good bit of fluids, not nearly 64 oz.s though. I guess I will work up to it. You drink and fill up your new pouch that holds about 2 ozs. and then you have to wait awhile for it to empty to drink more.
I walked a mile and a half today, and before you ask, yes, I'm supposed to walk. So don't worry. But my biggest problem is going to be boredom. I can't really "do" anything yet so I am really bored. How much TV can you watch? I thought about getting out the afghan I have ready to put together. Maybe I'll get it out tomorrow. It will be really pretty when I finish it. I have all the motifs done and just need to do the sewing which I am NOT good at.
