Day 3

Today was different...
I woke in the middle of the night feeling pain around the large wound. In the morning I found traces of blood spots on my sheets, I think they were from the wound, and there was pain around the port area... I know that the doctor, had a few stitches around the band, and around the port to keep it in place, it's not a common practice by the way, it depends on the surgeon... and the band type.
Breakfast at home, I had the same...
Jell-o
Apple juice,
Green tea.
And water...
Pain: got worse, so I took a painkiller that dissolves in water, which was given by the doctor... it did the job... pain has been here all day, the pain is around the port area, where the wound is large... it could be the muscles, or the inside tissue is getting back to normal...
The pain gets worse when I am sitting and try to get up... i need to hold my stomach, just as i was holding it in place, so teh pain will be less...
I have been walking around the house all day... to get my body back to normal...
Hunger: well hunger was there, but with the water and juices, it did the job... yet I have to do it slowly... or it hurts... you feel like something is not going down...so again, I would stand up and walk around for a few minutes.
There is one uncomfortable symptom which is the gas inside the body, that needs to go out (nurses were asking about this) anyhow, it has to do with two things, during the operation the body is pumped with CO2, giving the surgeon the space to do the operation.
Anyhow, day three is about to finish... it's 10pm now my time, so... another day to come... will keep track.
