Post-op 1 Week

Jun 27, 2014

Had my surgery one week ago, so have completed my one week of clear liquid diet. Never thought I would be so happy to have a protein supplement. As a treat for making it to the next level, I added shaved ice to make my supplement like a chocolate shake. It was so filling that it took me over an hour to consume, but I enjoyed every bite. I look back over the last week and realized that I spent a lot of time stressing myself out. I worried about weight loss, protein intake, calorie intake, drinking too little, pushing my exercising to soon. I was a mess with over-analyzing. So have decided to stop worrying and concentrate on letting my body heal and as I feel better, pick up activities gradually. I think that I am so excited about all the new things that will start happening that I need to take the time to enjoy what is currently changing like getting use to the new signals coming from my body and what each one means. Will be glad when my gas decreases. So many time I will take a drink to have it feel like I may vomit until I burp. While I haven't had a problem with things coming back up, I do keep a container by my chair just in case. Well am off to the store to get a few things for my full liquid diet.
