Post-Op Day Two

I feel pretty crappy today.  My entire body aches.  I have to drink 2 oz every 20 minutes so I can get in all my protein and all my water for the day.  I slept horribly.  I could take something for the pain, but usually the pain meds make me feel worse rather than better.  So I'm holding off.

I drink my little 2 oz, but I honestly can't tell my fullness yet.  I haven't thrown up yet, so that's good.  I'd like to avoid that at all costs.

I feel pretty exhausted.  Laying down is very uncomfortable.  I wish I could relax in the bathtub, but I can't take a bath for at least a few more weeks.  I am allowed to take a shower, but they suggested that I not let the water hit my incisions directly.  Mine were glued and the water could make the glue come loose.

I don't have any regrets yet.  I am just eager to get out of this stage.  I don't like feeling miserable and I have to remind myself that this will pass.  Today isn't quite as bad as yesterday.  Hopefully each day will have me feeling better.
