4 days Post op

Hi everyone, First let me start by saying thankyou for all the wellwishes I recieved prior to my surgery. Well today was my first full day home and I feel pretty good. I was a bit worried last night that I would need to go back to the hospital. I could hardly keep anything down. SO last night I decided it was time to stop sucking up the pain and start taking my pain medication. What a difference. I have kept down all my water today and even had a few ounces of jello. I have been sucking on ice chips and crystal light all day. One of my biggest problems in the hospital was when they brought some jello for me of course they brought way to much. I ate it all and payed for it for a day. I also had carnation instant breakfast, apple juice and water yesterday and i became sick. I know this sounds nasty but I am wondering if I may be lactose intolerant now. I hardly had any instant breakfast and was vommiting undigested clumps for several hours. Tomorow I will try to add some sort of protein into my diet I just don't want to rush things. I kinda want to play it safe for a few days. I hope all is well for everyone and remember to everyone getting ready to head into the hospital. Be careful when it comes time for full liquids. They bring a bunch of stuff at once. Don't feel like you have to have it all and try everything on your tray. Does anyone else out there think they are lactose intoloerant now? Katie
