Asian Jamaican: Invasive

So my surgery is considered minor surgery, but after 3 days I've been checking out my pie hole & it's pretty invasive.  One of my stitches fell out today, but oddly enough I didn't spazz out & freak out.   I tried weaning myself off my pain meds today, but that didn't work too well because I ended up taking 1.5 within a certain time frame & it knocked me out.  Needless to say, I am just going to have to take 1 full pill til I run out.  It makes smiling and talking really hard.  They grafted from the roof of my mouth & then stitched it to my gum area.  So the right side of my mouth is out commission :(  I need to keep reminding myself that it actually was surgery & need to heal!

The good news is that I am losing weight from soups, juicing & potatoes.  My overall guess is that at this point my calories are next to nothing.  I do okay until around lunch time & then I lose my shit.  I get really hot, sweat bullets, feel like my head is expanding and contracting, I get nauseated.  So I drink something and it somewhat goes away.  I really wish I knew someone who is an expert on detoxing because I feel that's what I am going through.  I think meds are making me feel all fucked up too, but I've seen the inside of my mouth & am going to do whatever it takes to heal healthfully!  I am not going through this again, BUT I am grateful it is giving me the chance to reboot.  Let go of sugar, dairy, gluten.  I haven't chewed anything in a little over 3 days.  I really think I may give this juicing thing a go for longer than a week.

My skin is still very itchy!  I was up til 3 am itching.  WTF?  Yeah..I hope I fall asleep right away this time when I take my meds.  And the skin on my face is not supple yet.  It's kind of dried out with these little bumps over it.  It doesn't look like acne, but I am not sure what it is.

No exercise still, just a lot of rest and fluids.  I am super duper tired right now, but I am steaming my broccoli & cauliflower so I can make a mash up of healthy food.  Ok, signing out.  Asian.
