Post Op day 5

Today was a sleepy sleepy day!  Grandma Trone came and stayed with me today and I slept the day away off and on.  I have gotten the worst heart burn today.  I can't seem to shake it.  I am trying to drink and even water burns my esophagus.  I know my meds are to blame.  I have to crush all my pills and my pain meds are liquids and they are both a bit harsh.  It's getting pretty bothersome so tomorrow I need to call into the Dr and see what we can do about it before it burns up my esophagus. 

I still have these horrible gas pains in my belly.  I know it takes a couple weeks to get the gas out from surgery, but it's awful to have to eat something or drink something and then hurt minutes later because of gas pressure and pain. 

I ate a tsp of pudding for breakfast today.  I managed to get 2 tsp down at lunch and then another tsp for supper.  I even managed to mix up a protein shake with some soy milk and it was super yummy tasting today!  I only was able to drink about 2 ounces of it today, but I saved the rest for tomorrow. 

I am not used to this lack of energy feeling.  It really has me foggy and in a daze most of the time.  I know it's from recovering from anaesthesia and lack of caloric intake, but it's such a change.  I can get up, go pee, get a drink, and feel like I've put in a 10 hour work day.  I am just EXHAUSTED from what little activity I get.
