I just got home from the hospital. I am a bit dizzy from the anti-nausea
drugs but I feel otherwise quite good. I had read that the worst part in the first days is the risk of dehydration, and my doctors let me stay an extra few hours at the hospital to relax and have a second IV to boost me fluids. I haven't tried drinking anything yet.
The doctor told me only water today, then days 2-4 only liquids, days 5-7 purees...and then small portions, chewing each bite 25 times. Small portions, lots of chewing and only when I am hungry. It should be different now that I have to eat mindfully... I will keep you posted. I am feeling optimistic, and I don't mind feeling hungry.
I eat emotionally without realizing it (before today), like I am feeding a monster in my head... I hope that this balloon will help me stop the bad habits and I will start my new journey. I also hope that the buzz that I have from the
drugs doesn't wear off and leave me puking all night. I went to hospital at 8AM, by 9AM I was awake and now it is 2PM.
