So...I admit it....I cheated twice yesterday on my "clear liquids"....and I paid for it! First I had about 1/2-3/4 of a snack sized McFlurry (oreo cookie..mmmm). It was all soft and mushy, and my tightened LES tolerated it well. However, hours later, I realized that my intestines did not. :o
Before the revenge started, I also sneaked some delicious french fries from my husbands Popeye's dinner (those are the best darn fries ever!). I was sure to chew them very well and take sips of liquid with them. I felt I was tolerating them well too. However, a couple hours later I felt that all familiar lump in my throat. Not sure if I actually had fries stuck or what. And then the "revenge" set it.
I guess from what I've read, it's normal for some people to have diarrhea when resuming dairy products, so it was probably the ice cream that did it. But, on the other hand, I needed it. I still had so much CO2 built up from the surgery and hadn't passed gas in 5 days, so I feel a little less bloated today.
Still feeling sharp, stabbing pains in my shoulders. I was hoping that would have been gone by now. And I have to say that mornings are probably the worst, belly pain-wise...the shifting from laying down to sitting up just kind of tugs on everything differently and makes it ache. But, I've cut my Rx pain meds down to two when i wake and two when i go to bed...then throughout the day, I try to space them out and take only one if i need it.
