1 WEEK AND 1 DAY POST OP!!!

Well I am still here guys!!! I am doing pretty good I think. Had a rough day with some nausia yesterday but it was due to to much pain meds. The nurse told me to take it all the time even if I didn't think I needed it which I told her I did not but she said I had to so I did and it made me really sick and I got a rash all over my back that felt like bee stings!! So I called dr webb he said throw that stuff away now!!! I feel better today and last night I had about 1/2 of a saltine cracker with no problems, this morning I had grits for breakfast no problems!!!!! I was so happy!!!!!!! So today I am trying mashed potatoes for dinner!!! Still a little sore from the gall bladder removal but much better, I have a lot of back problems so that is of course hurting a lot right now but hanging in there. Thank you all for your support and comments it helps! Later judy

well, congrats on making it this far and wishing you a speedy recovery!!!

Hi nice to see you on the other side and ready for your new life. And very glad you are feeling better. I went off pain meds after a few days, they made me sick too BUT! back away from the mashed potatoes!...LOL grits with eggs ok , but you need your protein... not carbs, protein helps in your healing, eggs are called a perfect protein and one a day will help with healing. try some cottage cheese, or soup, or beans

Hi thanks for the responce, Doing good today. Well I didn't eat the potatoes, Dr Webb suggested I try them first but I just wasn't interested in them at all. I had about 3/4 teaspoon of grits for breakfast, the egg smell was a little more than I was ready for also!!! Maybe this week. I have had some cottage cheese and 2 saltine crackers over the last few days. The cracker believe it or not really helped to settle my stomach when I was so sick from all the meds. Last night I had some Apple sauce, and yogart for breakfast today, so doing pretty good I think. Oh yea I forgot I drank my protirn drink 4 oz also today. Anyway just made my first trip out to the store! Showered did my hair and make up and dressed. Was only gone for about 20 minutes but I am beat now!!!! Need to rest a bit before my son comes over for Mothers Day. Take care Judy
