Need an unfill

Posted 02-22-2009 at 02:05 PM by ShellShock (ShellShock's Journal)

Ugh! I am in pain. I had an unfill two days ago and they took out .4 but now I wish they took out more. I cannot even drink water right now and have so much acid.

With this last fill I did notice that I wasn't able to eat much solid food. I was having a lot of chili and soup, which they say is bad. But anything else would come right back up and I would be stuck for hours and not even be able to drink water. Well last week I got stuck and that seemed to push me over the edge and must...

8 weeks post op

Posted 11-25-2008 at 03:58 PM by ShellShock (ShellShock's Journal)

Today is my eight week bandaversary. I cannot believe it has been eight weeks. Today I am allowed to start eating normal foods. To tell the truth I have been on normal foods pretty much the entire soft food phase. My restrictions is very little. There are some nights where dinner is much less than I thought I could eat but that is the only meal. I will take a bite and get a pain in my chest and know that I shouldn't eat anymore. It will hurt really bad for a few minutes and I only hope that it will...

47 Days Post Op

Posted 11-15-2008 at 05:45 PM by ShellShock (ShellShock's Journal)

Well for the past two weeks I have been on mushies. I was so looking forward to it. I had things picked out that I was going to eat. It went okay, but I have to say my will power was awful. I didn’t have a problem with being hungry when I was on liquids. But as I moved on to the mushies I was hungry all the time. I would go out with my boyfriend and eat things that weren’t really mushy. I would say to myself…if I chew it really well….
Now I am on soft foods and was surprised that my nutritionist...

27 days post op

Posted 10-27-2008 at 04:37 PM by ShellShock (ShellShock's Journal)

It has been a while since I last posted. I tried to post on day 5 but the site was down and I couldn’t save anything on the computer that I was on. So now it is day 27. Tomorrow will be four weeks from my surgery date. That means that I can have mushies tomorrow. But before I get to that I want to recap a little.

I was in pain for the first two weeks post op. It was mainly directly in the middle of my stomach and at my port site. I couldn’t understand how some people say that they...

Two days Post-op

Posted 10-02-2008 at 05:49 PM by ShellShock (ShellShock's Journal)

It is hard to believe it is over. I am doing well but before I get into that I want to try to recap before I forget everything.

The night before the surgery I decided to go to bed early since I had to be at the hospital so early the next morning. I was required to be there by 5:30 AM which was riddiculous. I arrived on time with both of my parents and checked in. We waited until they called my name and they took us to a waiting room. One by one people were called back. Hours went...
