I am back from hospital and 3 days post OP!
Hi,
My surgery was 3 days ago. I got back from the hospital today and am staying in a very nice hotel with my DH and several other Post Op americans here in Curitiba Brazil.
I am feeling pretty good. Though the first day or 2 were pretty rough. I had a lot of nausea.
I am pretty tired and a little sore. I am wearing an abdominal binder wish is actually helping me feel more comfortable (I think things don't jiggle around so much with it).
I am having a difficult time with hunger pains and nausea. I get very hungry and my stomach grawls and I than start feeling nauseated. I am eating chicken soup with mostly broth and low fat yogurt today. I eat very slowly. I still can't get the hang of feeding the tummy and avoiding nausea. I also have VERY lose stools right now. But otherwise I feel pretty good. I can't wait to get back to the US though and my kids.
Will update again later.
