I am doing well.  I feel healthy and my incisions are just scabs now, some of them are even scabless!   Everything is pretty good.  Except...

I feel like I want to start eating food again.  I don't dream about the bad foods I used to eat.  I just want to eat an egg or some refried beans or something.  I'm very tired of liquids.  I don't like the monotony and I really want to cook some meals for my fiance.  He's been going out without me daily because he doesn't want to eat in front of me and no matter how many times I tell him it's okay he says he'd feel too guilty.  When he does bother to eat at home it's not something he cooks because he doesn't want to make the house smell like food I can't have.  The second one I am kind of grateful for, but really it's not fair for him.  

I am just counting down the days, 10 more until my nutrition appointment and the doc tells me when I can eat real food again.  Trying to be positive, on the liquid diet I have lost 12 lbs in the 2 weeks since my surgery which brings it up to 37 lbs since I started it something like 5 weeks ago.  On the other hand, um, I want food!  Okay.  I will stop my whining and commence my counting.  I'm sure it will be here before I know it.....
